| 76:1 | | Surely there came over man a time when he was nothing that could be mentioned |
| 76:2 | | Surely We have created man from sperm mixed (with ovum), to try him, so We have made him hearing, seeing |
| 76:3 | | We have truly shown him the way; he may be thankful or unthankful |
| 76:4 | | Surely We have prepared for the disbelievers chains and shackles and a burning Fire |
| 76:5 | | The righteous truly drink of a cup tempered with camphor - |
| 76:6 | | A fountain from which the servants of Allah drink, making it flow in abundance |
| 76:7 | | They fulfil vows and fear a day, the evil of which is widespread |
| 76:8 | | And they give food, out of love for Him, to the poor and the orphan and the captive |
| 76:9 | | We fed you, for Allah’s pleasure only -- We desire from you neither reward nor thanks |
| 76:10 | | Surely we fear from our Lord a stern, distressful day |
| 76:11 | | So Allah will ward off from them the evil of that day, and cause them to meet with spendour and happiness |
| 76:12 | | And reward them, for their steadfastness, with a Garden and with silk |
| 76:13 | | Reclining therein on raised couches; they will see therein neither (excessive heat of) sun nor intense cold |
| 76:14 | | And close down upon them are its shadows, and its fruits are made near (to them), easy to reach |
| 76:15 | | And round about them are made to go vessels of silver and goblets of glass |
| 76:16 | | Crystal-clear, made of silver -- they have measured them according to a measure |
| 76:17 | | And they are made to drink therein a cup tempered with ginger - |
| 76:18 | | (Of) a fountains therein called Salsabil |
| 76:19 | | And round about them will go youths, never altering in age; when thou seest them thou wilt think them to be scattered pearls |
| 76:20 | | And when thou lookest thither, thou seest blessings and a great kingdom |
| 76:21 | | On them are garments of fine green silk and thick brocade, and they are adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord makes them to drink a pure drink |
| 76:22 | | Surely this is a reward for you, and your striving is recompensed |
| 76:23 | | Surely We have revealed the Qur’an to thee, in portions |
| 76:24 | | So wait patiently for the judgment of thy Lord, and obey not a sinner or an ungrateful one among them |
| 76:25 | | And glorify the name of thy Lord morning and evening |
| 76:26 | | And during part of the night adore Him, and glorify Him throughout a long night |
| 76:27 | | Surely these love the transitory life and neglect a grievous day before them |
| 76:28 | | We created them and made firm their make, and, when We will, We can bring in their place the like of them by change |
| 76:29 | | Surely this is a Reminder; so whoever will, let him take a way to his Lord |
| 76:30 | | And you will not, unless Allah pleases. Surely Allah is ever Knowing, Wise - |
| 76:31 | | He admits whom He pleases to His mercy; and the wrongdoers -- He has prepared for them a painful chastisement |
