Has there ˹not˺ come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing ˹even˺ mentioned?  

هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ حِينٌ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْئًا مَذْكُورًا  

Indeed, We created man from a sperm-drop mixture that We may try him; and We made him hearing and seeing.  

إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ نَبْتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا  

Indeed, We guided him to the way, be he grateful or be he ungrateful.  

إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا  

Indeed, We have prepared for the disbelievers chains and shackles and a blaze.  

إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِينَ سَلَاسِلَ وَأَغْلَالًا وَسَعِيرًا  

Indeed, the righteous will drink from a cup ˹of wine˺ whose mixture is of Kafur,  

إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ يَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ كَأْسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا  

A spring of which the ˹righteous˺ servants of Allah will drink; they will make it gush forth in force ˹and abundance˺.  

عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ اللَّهِ يُفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفْجِيرًا  

They ˹are those who˺ fulfill ˹their˺ vows and fear a Day whose evil will be widespread.  

يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا كَانَ شَرُّهُ مُسْتَطِيرًا  

And they give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orphan, and the captive,  

وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا  

˹Saying˺, "We feed you only for the countenance of Allah. We wish not from you reward or gratitude.  

إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنْكُمْ جَزَاءً وَلَا شُكُورًا  

Indeed, We fear from our Lord a Day austere and distressful."  

إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِنْ رَبِّنَا يَوْمًا عَبُوسًا قَمْطَرِيرًا  

So Allah will protect them from the evil of that Day and give them radiance and happiness  

فَوَقَاهُمُ اللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَلَقَّاهُمْ نَضْرَةً وَسُرُورًا  

And will reward them for what they patiently endured ˹with˺ a garden ˹in Paradise˺ and silk ˹garments˺.  

وَجَزَاهُمْ بِمَا صَبَرُوا جَنَّةً وَحَرِيرًا
