| 76:1 | | Has there come upon man a while of (an) era when he was not a thing to be remembered |
| 76:2 | | Surely We created man from a sperm-drop, a mingling, trying him; so We made him constantly hearing, constantly beholding |
| 76:3 | | Surely We have guided him upon the way, whether he be thankful or most disbelieving |
| 76:4 | | Surely We have readied for the disbelievers chains and shackles and a Blaze |
| 76:5 | | Surely the benign will drink of a cup whose blend is camphor |
| 76:6 | | A spring whereat drink the bondmen of Allah, making it to gush forth with plenteous gushing (i.e., abundantly) |
| 76:7 | | They fulfill (their) vows and fear a Day whose evil is spread all over |
| 76:8 | | And they give food (Literally: feed with food) for the love of Him, (Or: love of it) to the indigent, (and) the orphan, and the captive |
| 76:9 | | "Surely we feed you only for the Face of Allah. We would not have any recompense from you, nor thankfulness |
| 76:10 | | Surely we fear from our Lord a most frowning Day most inauspicious." |
| 76:11 | | So, Allah has protected them from the evil of that Day and has granted (Literally: made them receive) them bloom and pleasure |
| 76:12 | | And He has recompensed them for (enduring) patiently with a Garden and silk |
| 76:13 | | Reclining therein upon couches, therein they will see neither sun nor bitter cold |
| 76:14 | | And the shades thereof will be close upon them, and its picked fruits brought meekly low with all meekness |
| 76:15 | | And there will be passed round for them vessels of silver and goblets that were (designed) of crystals |
| 76:16 | | Crystals of silver that they have determined its (measure), an exact determination |
| 76:17 | | And they are given to drink therein a cup whose blend is ginger |
| 76:18 | | Therein is a spring whose name is (called) Salsabil |
| 76:19 | | And eternalized all-young men go round them; when you see them, you reckon them as strewn pearls |
| 76:20 | | And when you see (them) hence, you see bliss and a great kingdom |
| 76:21 | | Their upper (covering) will be green clothes of sarcenet and brocade, and they are ornamented with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them to drink a drink most pure |
| 76:22 | | Surely (it will be said), "This is duly yours as a recompense, and your endeavor is (also) to be thanked." |
| 76:23 | | Surely We, Ever We, have been sending down the Qur'an on you, a successive sending down |
| 76:24 | | So (endure) patiently under the Judgment of your Lord, and do not obey one of them, vicious or most disbelieving |
| 76:25 | | And remember the Name of your Lord before sunrise and before sunset |
| 76:26 | | And (part) of the night; so prostrate yourself to Him, and extol Him through the long night |
| 76:27 | | Surely these (people) love the hasty (world) and leave behind them a heavy Day |
| 76:28 | | We, Ever We, created them, and We have upheld their frames; and when We (so) decide, We will exchange their likes, an (easy) exchange |
| 76:29 | | Surely this is a Reminder; so whoever decides, (may) take (to himself) a way to his Lord |
| 76:30 | | And in no way can you (Literally: mankind) decide unless Allah (so) decides; surely Allah has been Ever-Knowing, Ever-Wise |
| 76:31 | | He causes whomever He decides to enter into His mercy; and for the unjust (ones) He has prepared a painful torment |
