| 76:1 | | Has there come upon man a period of time when he was nothing to be mentioned |
| 76:2 | | We created man from a liquid mixture, to test him; and We made him hearing and seeing |
| 76:3 | | We guided him to the way, be he appreciative or unappreciative |
| 76:4 | | We have prepared for the faithless chains, and yokes, and a Searing Fire |
| 76:5 | | But the righteous will drink from a cup whose mixture is aroma |
| 76:6 | | A spring from which the servants of God will drink, making it gush abundantly |
| 76:7 | | They fulfill their vows, and dread a Day whose ill is widespread |
| 76:8 | | And they feed, for the love of Him, the poor, and the orphan, and the captive |
| 76:9 | | 'We only feed you for the sake of God. We want from you neither compensation, nor gratitude |
| 76:10 | | We dread from our Lord a frowning grim Day.' |
| 76:11 | | So God will protect them from the ills of that Day, and will grant them radiance and joy |
| 76:12 | | And will reward them for their patience with a Garden and silk |
| 76:13 | | Reclining therein on the thrones; experiencing therein neither sun, nor frost |
| 76:14 | | Its shade hovering over them, and its fruit brought low within reach |
| 76:15 | | Passing around them are vessels of silver, and cups of crystal |
| 76:16 | | Crystal of silver—they measured them exactly |
| 76:17 | | They will be served therein with a cup whose flavor is Zanjabeel |
| 76:18 | | A spring therein named Salsabeel. |
| 76:19 | | Passing among them are eternalized youths. If you see them, you would think them sprinkled pearls |
| 76:20 | | Wherever you look, you see bliss, and a vast kingdom |
| 76:21 | | Upon them are garments of green silk, and satin. And they will be adorned with bracelets of silver. And their Lord will offer them a pure drink |
| 76:22 | | 'This is a reward for you. Your efforts are well appreciated.' |
| 76:23 | | It is We who sent down the Quran upon you—a gradual revelation |
| 76:24 | | So be patient for the decision of your Lord, and do not obey the sinner or the blasphemer among them |
| 76:25 | | And mention the Name of your Lord, morning and evening |
| 76:26 | | And for part of the night, prostrate yourself to Him, and glorify Him long into the night |
| 76:27 | | As for these: they love the fleeting life, and leave behind a Heavy Day |
| 76:28 | | We created them, and strengthened their frame; and whenever We will, We can replace them with others like them |
| 76:29 | | This is a reminder; so whoever wills, let him take a path to his Lord |
| 76:30 | | Yet you cannot will, unless God wills. God is Knowing and Wise |
| 76:31 | | He admits into His mercy whomever He wills. But as for the wrongdoers, He has prepared for them a painful punishment |
