1 . Hath there come Upon man ( ever ) any period of time in which he was a thing unremembered?
2 . Lo! We create man from a drop of thickened fluid to test him ; so We make him hearing , knowing .
3 . Lo! We have shown him the way , whether he be grateful or disbelieving .
4 . Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers manacles and carcans and a raging fire .
5 . Lo! the righteous shall drink of a cup whereof the mixture is of water of Kafur ,
6 . A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah drink , making it gush forth abundantly ,
7 . Because they perform the vow and fear a day whereof the evil is wide spreading ,
8 . And feed with food the needy wretch , the orphan and the prisoner , for love of Him ,
9 . ( Saying ) : We feed you , for the sake of Allah only . We wish for no reward nor thanks from you ;
10 . Lo! we fear from our Lord a day of frowning and of fate .
11 . Therefor Allah hath warded from them the evil of that day , and hath made them find brightness and joy ;
12 . And hath awarded them for all that they endured , a Garden and silk attire ;
13 . Reclining therein upon couches , they will find there neither ( heat of ) a sun nor bitter cold .
14 . The shade thereof is close upon them and the clustered fruits thereof bow down .
15 . Goblets of silver are brought round for them , and beakers ( as ) of glass
16 . ( Bright as ) glass but ( made ) of silver , which they ( themselves ) have measured to the measure ( of their deeds ) .
17 . There are they watered with a cup whereof the mixture is of Zanjabil ,
18 . The water of a spring therein , named Salsabil .
19 . There serve them youths of everlasting youth , whom , when thou seest , thou wouldst take for scattered pearls .
20 . When thou seest , thou wilt see there bliss and high estate .
21 . 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 .
22 . ( And it will be said unto them ) : Lo! this is a reward for you . Your endeavor ( upon earth ) hath found acceptance .
23 . Lo! We , even We , have revealed unto thee the Quran , a revelation ;
24 . So submit patiently to thy Lord ' s command , and obey not of them any guilty one or disbeliever .
25 . Remember the name of thy Lord at morn and evening .
26 . And worship Him ( a portion ) of the night . And glorify Him through the livelong night .
27 . Lo! these love fleeting life , and put behind them ( the remembrance of ) a grievous day .
28 . We , even We , created them , and strengthened thee frame . And when We will , We can replace them , bringing others like them in their stead .
29 . Lo! this is an Admonishment , that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord .
30 . Yet ye will not , unless Allah willeth . Lo! Allah is Knower , Wise .
31 . He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy , and for evil doers hath prepared a painful doom .
