إِنَّ المُتَّقينَ في جَنّاتٍ وَعُيونٍ
The righteous will be in gardens and springs.”
ادخُلوها بِسَلامٍ آمِنينَ
“Enter it in peace, securely.”
وَنَزَعنا ما في صُدورِهِم مِن غِلٍّ إِخوانًا عَلىٰ سُرُرٍ مُتَقابِلينَ
We will remove from their hearts all ill feelings; they will be brethren, lounging on couches, facing one another.
لا يَمَسُّهُم فيها نَصَبٌ وَما هُم مِنها بِمُخرَجينَ
No fatigue will touch them there, nor will they ever be asked to leave.
نَبِّئ عِبادي أَنّي أَنَا الغَفورُ الرَّحيمُ
Inform My beings that I am the Forgiving, the Merciful.
وَأَنَّ عَذابي هُوَ العَذابُ الأَليمُ
And that My punishment is the painful punishment.
وَنَبِّئهُم عَن ضَيفِ إِبراهيمَ
Relate to them the story of Abraham’s guests.
إِذ دَخَلوا عَلَيهِ فَقالوا سَلامًا قالَ إِنّا مِنكُم وَجِلونَ
When they entered his presence, they greeted him with “Peace.” He responded, “We are uneasy about you.”
قالوا لا تَوجَل إِنّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلامٍ عَليمٍ
They reassured him, “Fear not; we bring you good news of a wise son.”
قالَ أَبَشَّرتُموني عَلىٰ أَن مَسَّنِيَ الكِبَرُ فَبِمَ تُبَشِّرونَ
He asked, “How can you bring such news, given my advanced age? So what gives you this good news?”
قالوا بَشَّرناكَ بِالحَقِّ فَلا تَكُن مِنَ القانِطينَ
They replied, “Indeed, we bring you truthful news, so don’t lose hope.”
