| 76:1 | | Did there not pass over man a long space of time; during which he was a thing not worthy of remembrance |
| 76:2 | | Verily we have created man of the mingled seed of both sexes, that We might prove him: And We have made him to hear and to see |
| 76:3 | | We have surely directed him in the way; whether he be grateful, or ungrateful |
| 76:4 | | Verily we have prepared for the unbelievers chains, and collars, and burning fire |
| 76:5 | | But the just shall drink of a cup of wine, mixed with the water of Cafur |
| 76:6 | | a fountain whereof the servants of God shall drink; they shall convey the same by channels whithersoever they please |
| 76:7 | | These fulfil their vow, and dread the day, the evil whereof will disperse itself far abroad |
| 76:8 | | and give food unto the poor, and the orphan, and the bondman, for his sake |
| 76:9 | | saying, we feed you for God's sake only: We desire no recompense from you, nor any thanks |
| 76:10 | | Verily we dread, from our Lord, a dismal and calamitous day |
| 76:11 | | Wherefore God shall deliver them from the evil of that day, and shall cast on them brightness of countenance, and joy |
| 76:12 | | and shall reward them, for their patient persevering, with a garden, and silk garments |
| 76:13 | | Therein shall they repose themselves on couches; they shall see therein neither sun nor moon |
| 76:14 | | and the shades thereof shall be near spreading above them, and the fruits thereof shall hang low, so as to be easily gathered |
| 76:15 | | And their attendants shall go round about unto them, with vessels of silver, and goblets |
| 76:16 | | The bottles shall be bottles of silver shining like glass; they shall determine the measure thereof by their wish |
| 76:17 | | And therein shall they be given to drink of a cup of wine, mixed with the water of Zenjebil |
| 76:18 | | a fountain in paradise named Salsabil |
| 76:19 | | And youths, which shall continue for ever in their bloom, shall go round to attend them; when thou seest them, thou shalt think them to be scattered pearls |
| 76:20 | | And when thou lookest, there shalt thou behold delights, and a great kingdom |
| 76:21 | | Upon them shall be garments of fine green silk, and of brocades, and they shall be adorned with bracelets of silver: And their Lord shall give them to drink of a most pure liquor |
| 76:22 | | and shall say unto them, verily this is your reward: And your endeavour is gratefully accepted |
| 76:23 | | Verily We have sent down unto thee the Koran, by a gradual revelation |
| 76:24 | | Wherefore patiently wait the judgment of thy Lord; and obey not any wicked person or unbeliever among them |
| 76:25 | | And commemorate the name of thy Lord, in the morning, and in the evening |
| 76:26 | | And during some part of the night worship Him, and praise Him a long part of the night |
| 76:27 | | Verily these men love the transitory life, and leave behind them the heavy day of judgment |
| 76:28 | | We have created them, and have strengthened their joints; and when We please, We will substitute others like unto them, in their stead |
| 76:29 | | Verily this is an admonition: And whoso willeth, taketh the way unto his Lord |
| 76:30 | | But ye shall not will, unless God willeth; for God is knowing, and wise |
| 76:31 | | He leadeth whom He pleaseth into his mercy: But for the unjust hath He prepared a grievous punishment |
