بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْإِنسَٰنِ حِينٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُن شَيْـًۭٔا مَّذْكُورًا
Hal ataa 'alal insaani heenum minad dahri lam yakun shai'am mazkooraa
Hath there come upon man (ever) any period of time in which he was a thing unremembered?
إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍۢ نَّبْتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلْنَٰهُ سَمِيعًۢا بَصِيرًا
Innaa khalaqnal insaana min nutfatin amshaajin nabta leehi faja'alnaahu samee'am baseeraa
Lo! We create man from a drop of thickened fluid to test him; so We make him hearing, knowing.
إِنَّا هَدَيْنَٰهُ ٱلسَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًۭا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا
Innaa hadainaahus sabeela immaa shaakiranw wa immaa kafoora
Lo! We have shown him the way, whether he be grateful or disbelieving.

Innaaa a'tadnaa lilkaa fireena salaasila wa aghlaalanw wa sa'eeraa
Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers manacles and carcans and a raging fire.
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ يَشْرَبُونَ مِن كَأْسٍۢ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا
innal abraara yashra boona min kaasin kaana mizaa juhaa kaafooraa
Lo! the righteous shall drink of a cup whereof the mixture is of Kafur,
عَيْنًۭا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ ٱللَّهِ يُفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفْجِيرًۭا
'Aynany yashrabu bihaa 'ibaadul laahi yafajjiroonahaa tafjeeraa
A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah drink, making it gush forth abundantly,
يُوفُونَ بِٱلنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوْمًۭا كَانَ شَرُّهُۥ مُسْتَطِيرًۭا
Yoofoona binnazri wa yakhaafoona yawman kaana sharruhoo mustateeraa
(Because) they perform the vow and fear a day whereof the evil is wide-spreading,
وَيُطْعِمُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِۦ مِسْكِينًۭا وَيَتِيمًۭا وَأَسِيرًا
Wa yut''imoonat ta'aama 'alaa hubbihee miskeenanw wa yatemanw wa aseeraa
And feed with food the needy wretch, the orphan and the prisoner, for love of Him,
إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ ٱللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنكُمْ جَزَآءًۭ وَلَا شُكُورًا
Innaamaa nut'imukum li wajhil laahi laa nureedu minkum jazaaa'anw wa laa shukooraa
(Saying): We feed you, for the sake of Allah only. We wish for no reward nor thanks from you;
إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِن رَّبِّنَا يَوْمًا عَبُوسًۭا قَمْطَرِيرًۭا
Innaa nakhaafu mir Rabbinna Yawman 'aboosan qamtareeraa
Lo! we fear from our Lord a day of frowning and of fate.
فَوَقَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَلَقَّىٰهُمْ نَضْرَةًۭ وَسُرُورًۭا
Fa waqaahumul laahu sharra zaalikal yawmi wa laqqaahum nadratanw wa surooraa
Therefor Allah hath warded off from them the evil of that day, and hath made them find brightness and joy;
وَجَزَىٰهُم بِمَا صَبَرُوا۟ جَنَّةًۭ وَحَرِيرًۭا
Wa jazaahum bimaa sabaroo janatanw wa hareeraa
And hath awarded them for all that they endured, a Garden and silk attire;
مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ فِيهَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ ۖ لَا يَرَوْنَ فِيهَا شَمْسًۭا وَلَا زَمْهَرِيرًۭا
muttaki'eena feeha 'alal araaa 'iki laa yarawna feehaa shamsanw wa laa zamhareeraa

Wa yutaafu 'alaihim bi aaniyatim min fiddatinw wa akwaabin kaanat qawaareeraa

قَوَارِيرَا۟ مِن فِضَّةٍۢ قَدَّرُوهَا تَقْدِيرًۭا
Qawaareera min fiddatin qaddaroohaa taqdeeraa
(Bright as) glass but (made) of silver, which they (themselves) have measured to the measure (of their deeds).
وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيهَا كَأْسًۭا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِيلًا
Wa yusawna feehaa kaasan kaana mizaajuhaa zanjabeelaa

Wa izaa ra ayta summa ra ayta na'eemanw wa mulkan kabeera
When thou seest, thou wilt see there bliss and high estate.
عَٰلِيَهُمْ ثِيَابُ سُندُسٍ خُضْرٌۭ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٌۭ ۖ وَحُلُّوٓا۟ أَسَاوِرَ مِن فِضَّةٍۢ وَسَقَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ شَرَابًۭا طَهُورًا
'Aaliyahum siyaabu sundusin khudrunw wa istabraq, wa hullooo asaawira min fiddatinw wa saqaahum Rabbuhum sharaaban tahooraa
Their raiment will be fine green silk and gold embroidery. Bracelets of silver will they wear. Their Lord will slake their thirst with a pure drink.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا كَانَ لَكُمْ جَزَآءًۭ وَكَانَ سَعْيُكُم مَّشْكُورًا
Innaa haazaa kaana lakum jazz 'anw wa kaana sa'yukum mashkooraa
(And it will be said unto them): Lo! this is a reward for you. Your endeavour (upon earth) hath found acceptance.

Lo! We, even We, have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a revelation;
فَٱصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تُطِعْ مِنْهُمْ ءَاثِمًا أَوْ كَفُورًۭا
Fasbir lihukmi Rabbika wa laa tuti' minhum aasiman aw kafooraa
So submit patiently to thy Lord's command, and obey not of them any guilty one or disbeliever.
وَٱذْكُرِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ بُكْرَةًۭ وَأَصِيلًۭا
Wazkuris ma Rabbika bukratanw wa aseelaa
Remember the name of thy Lord at morn and evening.

Wa minal laili fasjud lahoo wa sabbihhu lailan taweelaa
And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong night.
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ يُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُونَ وَرَآءَهُمْ يَوْمًۭا ثَقِيلًۭا
Inna haaa'ulaa'i yuhibboona 'aajilata wa yazaroona waraaa'ahum yawman saqeelaa
Lo! these love fleeting life, and put behind them (the remembrance of) a grievous day.
نَّحْنُ خَلَقْنَٰهُمْ وَشَدَدْنَآ أَسْرَهُمْ ۖ وَإِذَا شِئْنَا بَدَّلْنَآ أَمْثَٰلَهُمْ تَبْدِيلًا
Nahnu khalaqnaahum wa shadadnaaa asrahum wa izaa shi'naa baddalnaaa amsaala hum tabdeelaa
We, even We, created them, and strengthened their frame. And when We will, We can replace them, bringing others like them in their stead.

Wa maa tashaaa'oona illaa anyyashaaa'al laah; innal laahaa kaana'Aleeman Hakeema
Yet ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise.
يُدْخِلُ مَن يَشَآءُ فِى رَحْمَتِهِۦ ۚ وَٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ أَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًۢا
