| 76:1 | | There has, certainly, come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing worth mentioning |
| 76:2 | | WE have created man from a mingled sperm-drop that WE might try him; so WE made him hearing, seeing |
| 76:3 | | WE have shown him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful |
| 76:4 | | Verily, WE have prepared for the disbelievers chains and iron-collars and blazing Fire |
| 76:5 | | But the virtuous shall drink of a cup, tempered with camphor |
| 76:6 | | From a spring wherefrom the servants of ALLAH will drink - they make it gush forth - a forceful gushing forth |
| 76:7 | | They fulfill their vow, and fear a day the evil of which is widespread |
| 76:8 | | And they feed, for love of HIM, the poor, the orphan and the prisoner |
| 76:9 | | Assuring them: `WE feed you to win ALLAH's pleasure only. We desire no reward nor thanks from you |
| 76:10 | | `Verily, we fear from our Lord a frowning, distressful day. |
| 76:11 | | So ALLAH will save them from the evil of that day, and will grant them joy and happiness |
| 76:12 | | And HE will reward them for their steadfastness, with a Garden and raiments of silk |
| 76:13 | | Reclining therein upon couches, they will experience therein neither excessive heat nor bitter cold |
| 76:14 | | And its shades will be close over them, and its clustered fruits will be brought within their easy reach |
| 76:15 | | And vessels of silver will be passed round among them, and goblet |
| 76:16 | | Bright as glass but made of silver, which they will measure according to their own measure |
| 76:17 | | And therein will they be given to drink a cup tempered with ginger |
| 76:18 | | From a spring named Salsabil |
| 76:19 | | And there will wait upon them youths who will not age. When thou seest them, thou thinkest them to be pearls scattered about |
| 76:20 | | And when thou seest, thou wilt see there a bliss and a vast kingdom |
| 76:21 | | On them will be garments of fine green silk and thick brocade. And they will be made to wear bracelets of silver. And their Lord will give them to drink a pure beverage |
| 76:22 | | They will be told: `This is your reward, and your effort is appreciated. |
| 76:23 | | Surely, WE have revealed unto thee the Qur'an piecemeal |
| 76:24 | | So wait patiently for the judgment of thy Lord and yield not to any sinful or ungrateful one among them |
| 76:25 | | And remember the name of thy Lord morning and evening |
| 76:26 | | And during the night prostrate thyself before HIM, and extol HIS glory for a long part of the night |
| 76:27 | | Verily, these people love the present life, and they neglect a very hard day ahead |
| 76:28 | | WE have created them and have strengthened their make; and when WE will, WE can replace them by others like them |
| 76:29 | | Verily, this is a Reminder. So whoever wishes, may take a way unto his Lord |
| 76:30 | | But you cannot so wish unless ALLAH so wills. Verily, ALLAH is All-Knowing, Wise |
| 76:31 | | HE admits into HIS mercy whom HE pleases and for the wrongdoers HE has prepared a painful punishment |
