[1] There was certainly a time when there was no mention of the human being.
[2] We created the human being from the union of sperm and egg to test him. We gave him hearing and vision.
[3] We showed him the right path whether he would be grateful or ungrateful.
[4] We have prepared chains, shackles, and flaming fire (for the disbelievers).
[5] The virtuous ones will drink from a cup containing camphor
[6] which flows from a spring from which the servants of God will drink.
[7] The servants of God fulfill their vows and are afraid of the day in which there will be widespread terror.
[8] They feed the destitute, orphans, and captives for the love of God, saying,
[9] "We only feed you for the sake of God and we do not want any reward or thanks from you.
[10] We are afraid of our Lord and the bitterly distressful day".
[11] God will certainly rescue them from the terror of that day and will meet them with joy and pleasure.
[12] For their patience, He will reward them with Paradise and silk.
[13] They will recline therein on couches and they will find neither excessive heat nor cold.
[14] The shades of the garden will be closely spread over them and it will be easy for them to reach the fruits.
[15] They will be served with silver dishes and crystal clear goblets.
[16] Also there will be crystal clear goblets of silver containing the exact measure of drink which they desire.
[17] They will drink cups containing (soft flowing) sparkling water
[18] from a spring named salsabil.
[19] They will be served by immortal youths who look like scattered pearls.
[20] If you were to see it, you would find it to be a great kingdom with great bounty.
[21] They will have fine green silk and brocade, and they will be decked with bracelets of silver. Their Lord will provide them with a drink of pure wine.
[22] This will be their reward and their efforts will be appreciated.
[23] (Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps.
[24] So wait patiently for the command of your Lord and do not yield to any sinful or disbelieving person among them (people).
[25] Mention the Name of your Lord, mornings and evenings.
[26] Prostrate before Him and glorify Him extensively during the night.
[27] These people (disbelievers) love the worldly life and neglect the terrifying day which will come.
[28] We have created them and have given them strength. Had We wanted, We could have replaced them with another people like them.
[29] This chapter is a reminder. Let those who want, seek guidance from their Lord.
[30] (The virtuous mentioned in this chapter) want only what God wants. God is All-knowing and All-wise.
[31] He admits to His mercy whomever He wants. For the unjust He has prepared a painful punishment.
