An extended period had passed upon the human being in which he was non-existent, without mention.

Indeed, we created the human being from a drop mixed between the water of the man and the water of the woman. We test him with what we obligate him with of duties. So, We made him hear and see to perform what we assigned him from the legislation.

Indeed, We clarified for him the road of guidance upon the tongues of Our messengers, so that has become clear from the road of misguidance. So after that, he is either to be guided to the straight path and then become a believing slave, thankful to Allah, or he is to stray from it and then become a disbelieving slave, denying the signs of Allah.

After mentioning the two categories of guided and misguided, Allah mentions their recompense, stating:

Indeed, we have prepared chains for the disbelievers in Allah and His messengers, with which they will be pulled into the Fire, [and prepared] binds that they will be bound in, and an ignited Fire.

Indeed, the believers obedient to Allah will drink on the Day of Resurrection from a full cup of wine mixed with camphor for its pleasant smell.

This drink prepared for the people of obedience is from a spring that is easy to take from, abundant, and never drying up. The slaves of Allah quench their thirst with it. They pour it and make it flow wherever they wish.

And the attributes of the slaves who drink from it are that they fulfill what they obligate on themselves of acts of obedience. They fear a Day whose evil is widespread and distributed, which is the Day of Resurrection.

And they donate food while they are in a state of loving it due to their need for it and craving it. They give it to those in need of the poor, orphans, and prisoners of war.

And they secretly say within themselves that they do not feed them except for the Face of Allah, so they do not want reward or praise for feeding them.

[They say] Indeed, we fear from our Lord a Day in which the faces of those in hardship will frown due to its severity and horridness.

So Allah, by His favor, protected them from the evil of that great Day. He gave them beauty and light in their faces, in honor to them, and joy in their hearts.

And because of their patience upon acts of obedience, and with what Allah predetermined, and against acts of disobedience, Allah awarded them a garden in which they delight, and silk they wear.

Reclining therein on adorned couches. They do not see, in this garden, any sun whose rays would hurt them, nor any severe cold. Rather, they are in continuous shade, with no heat or cold.

Its shade is close to them. Its fruits are subdued for whoever takes it, so he takes it comfortably and easily, such that those laying, sitting, and standing can reach it.

And slaves circulate about them with silver vessels and cups, whose color is pure, when they want to drink.

They are pure in color, like glass, except they are made of silver. They are sized according to what they want, not more than that or less.

And these honored ones are given a cup of wine mixed with ginger to drink.

They drink from a spring in the Garden named Salsabeel.

And young adult slaves who remain in their youth circulate about them. If you saw them, you would have thought them scattered pearls due to the beauty of their faces, the splendor of their colors, abundance, and dispersion.

And if you saw what is there in the Garden, you would have seen delight that cannot be described and seen a great kingdom that no kingdom comes close to.

Green elegant clothes having adorned their bodies. They are of fine silk and thick, heavy silk. And they are dressed therein with bracelets of silver. Allah gives them drink with a beverage free from any contaminants.

And it is said to them, in their honor: Indeed, this delight which We bestowed upon you was a reward for you upon your righteous deeds, and your action was accepted by Allah.

O Messenger, indeed, We sent the Quran down upon you in parts, and We did not send it down upon you all at once.

So be patient with what Allah determines regarding fate or legislation. And do not obey a sinner with what he calls to of sin, nor a disbeliever in what he calls to of disbelief.

And remember your Lord with the Fajr (dawn) prayer at the beginning of the day and the prayers of Dhuhr (early afternoon) and 'Asr (late afternoon) at the end of it.

And remember Him with the two night prayers, maghrib (sunset) and 'ishaa` (evening). And get up for tahajjud [night prayer after waking up at night] after them.

Indeed, these polytheists love the life of this world and covet it. They leave behind them the Day of Resurrection, which is a heavy day due to what it contains of adversities and tribulations.

We created them and strengthened their creation by reinforcing their joints, limbs, and otherwise. If We had willed their destruction and replacement with the likes of them, We would have destroyed and replaced them.

Indeed, this surah [chapter] is an admonishment and reminder. So whoever wishes to take a path that leads him to his Lord's gratification takes it.

And you do not wish to take a path to Allah's gratification except that Allah wishes that from you, for the matter all goes back to Him. Indeed, Allah is knowledgeable of what befits His slaves and what does not befit them. [He is] wise in His creation, predetermination, and legislation.
