| 76:1 | | Does man not recognize a stage of his life in which he was practically nothing worth to mention |
| 76:2 | | Your Creator created you from a tiny embryo and then gave you the faculties of sight and hearing in order for you to go through the school of life |
| 76:3 | | God has showered mankind indiscriminately with His favor, by showing the right path; no matter how grateful or ungrateful man is |
| 76:4 | | As to the ungrateful ones, God has prepared for them iron chains, iron collars and a blazing Fire |
| 76:5 | | The grateful one, on the other hand, will fill their cup from a tasteful drink of a spring in Paradise known as Kafour |
| 76:6 | | The spring from which the believers will drink will never dry up |
| 76:7 | | The believers are those who fulfill their vows and are afraid of the day that its terror will reach the guilty one as far as he is |
| 76:8 | | The true believers are those who prefer to stay hungry and give their food to the needy, the orphan and the captive |
| 76:9 | | They will say: “We feed you just to please our Lord and do not ask anything in return from you.&rdquo |
| 76:10 | | Indeed we are afraid of the stern and distressful day of judgment |
| 76:11 | | God has already saved them from the evil of that day and they will be happy with joyful faces |
| 76:12 | | And God rewards them, for their patience in hardship, with garments made of silk in gardens of Paradise |
| 76:13 | | Wherein they relax and not suffer neither the hot days under the sun nor the cold nights under the moon |
| 76:14 | | They enjoy the shadow of the trees whose fruits are easily accessible to them |
| 76:15 | | They are served drinks in silver cups and crystal goblets |
| 76:16 | | Their silver made transparent cups are filled as much as they wish |
| 76:17 | | They enjoy drinks of delicious flavors from&hellip |
| 76:18 | | … a spring therein known as “Salsabil.&rdquo |
| 76:19 | | Their servers are ageless youth who resemble to scattered pearls in beauty |
| 76:20 | | When you look around, you will see blessing all over; a magnificent dominion |
| 76:21 | | Wearing fin green silk garments with gold embroidery and carrying silver bracelets, they will be admitted to the receptions wherein God will offer them pure drinks |
| 76:22 | | This is the way that God appreciates your efforts meant to please Him |
| 76:23 | | I (God) have revealed to you this Qur’an as a special favor |
| 76:24 | | Patiently carry out your Lord’s commandments and do not accept any disbelievers’ invitation to sin |
| 76:25 | | And glorify the name of your Lord day and night |
| 76:26 | | When the night comes, worship God by bowing down and prostrating before Him; adore and glorify your Lord for the longest time |
| 76:27 | | People are so preoccupied with this transitory life that they forget about the somber Day of Judgment which awaits them |
| 76:28 | | I (God) have created them and I have given them the authority; anytime that I wish, I may replace them with another kind of creature |
| 76:29 | | This is a reminder; you are free to choose the path which leads to your Lord |
| 76:30 | | Your goal will be accomplished, if it coincides with the will of God, the Most Knowledgeable, the Most Wise |
| 76:31 | | God shows mercy to whoever He wants. As for evil-doers, God has prepared an awful punishment |
