| 76:1 | | Approached the human being a long course of time when he will be nothing remembered? |
| 76:2 | | Truly, We made the human being of a mingling of seminal fluid that We may test him. So We made him hearing, seeing. |
| 76:3 | | Truly, We guided him on the way, whether he be one who is thankful or ungrateful. |
| 76:4 | | Truly, We made ready for ones who are ungrateful chains and yokes and a blaze. |
| 76:5 | | Truly, the pious will drink from a cup that had been a mixture of camphor, |
| 76:6 | | a spring where the servants of God will drink, causing it to gush forth, a great gushing. |
| 76:7 | | They live up to their vows and they fear a Day when the worst will be that which flies far and wide. |
| 76:8 | | In spite of their love for it, they feed with food one who is needy and the orphan and the prisoner of war saying: |
| 76:9 | | We feed you only for the Countenance of God. We want no recompense from you nor any thankfulness. |
| 76:10 | | Truly, we fear our Lord on a frowning, inauspicious Day. |
| 76:11 | | So God would protect them from worse on that day, and would make them find radiancy and joyfulness. |
| 76:12 | | And He will give them recompense for their enduring patiently with a Garden and silk, |
| 76:13 | | and ones who are reclining in it on raised benches. In it they will see neither sun nor excessive cold of the moon. |
| 76:14 | | And that which draws near them is its shade and clusters of grapes will be subdued, a subduing. |
| 76:15 | | And are passed around among them receptacles of silver and goblets that had been of crystal, |
| 76:16 | | crystal like silver, and that they calculated a calculating. |
| 76:17 | | And they are given to drink in it a cup that had been with a mixture of ginger. |
| 76:18 | | There is a spring in it named Salsabil. |
| 76:19 | | And ones who are immortal youths will go around them whom, when thou hadst seen them, thou wouldst assume them to be scattered pearls. |
| 76:20 | | And when thou hadst seen them, again, thou wilt have seen bliss and a great dominion. |
| 76:21 | | Upon them are garments of fine green silk and brocade. And they will be adorned with bracelets of silver. Their Lord will give to drink undefiled drink. |
| 76:22 | | Truly, this had been your recompense. What had been that which is your endeavoring. |
| 76:23 | | Truly, We sent down to thee the Quran, a sending down successively. |
| 76:24 | | So have thou patience for the determination of thy Lord and obey not any one of them, not the ones who are perverted nor the ungrateful. |
| 76:25 | | And remember thou the Name of thy Lord at early morning dawn and eventide. |
| 76:26 | | And during the night, prostrate thyself to Him and glorify Him a lengthy part of the night. |
| 76:27 | | Truly, these are they who love that which hastens away and they forsake a weighty day behind them. |
| 76:28 | | We created them and We strengthened their frame. And when We willed, We will substitute their likes with a substitution. |
| 76:29 | | Truly, this is an admonition. And whoever willed, he took himself on a way to his Lord. |
| 76:30 | | But you will it not unless God wills it. For God had been Knowing, Wise. |
| 76:31 | | He causes to enter whom He wills into His mercy. And the ones who are unjust, He prepared for them a painful punishment. |
