--- |
|---|
| 76:1 | | Has there ever been a period of time when the human being was not something to consider |
| 76:2 | | Indeed We created the human being from a zygote. In order to try them, We then gave him hearing and sight |
| 76:3 | | We showed him the way, but whether they are grateful or ungrateful rests on their will |
| 76:4 | | For the rejecters we have prepared chains and a blazing fire |
| 76:5 | | As for the righteous, they will drink from a cup mixed with kafur |
| 76:6 | | A fountain where the devotees of God drink, making it flow in abundance |
| 76:7 | | They honor their promise, and they are conscious of a day whose harm flies far and wide |
| 76:8 | | And they feed, for the love of God, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive |
| 76:9 | | Saying, “We feed you for the sake of God alone. No reward do we desire from you, nor thanks |
| 76:10 | | “Indeed we fear a day of distressful punishment. |
| 76:11 | | But God will deliver them from the harm of that day, and will shed over them a light of beauty and joy |
| 76:12 | | And because they were patient and constant, He will reward them with a garden and garments of silk |
| 76:13 | | Reclining in the garden on raised thrones, they will find there, neither a sun nor extreme cold |
| 76:14 | | And the shade of the garden will come low over them, and bunches of fruit there will hang low |
| 76:15 | | And among them will be passed round bowls of silver and goblets of crystal |
| 76:16 | | Crystal and silver. They will determine its amount |
| 76:17 | | And they will be given to drink there, from a cup mixed with zanjabil |
| 76:18 | | A fountain there called Salsabil |
| 76:19 | | And around them will be youth of perpetual innocence. If you see them, you would think they were scattered pearls |
| 76:20 | | And when you look, it is there you will see bliss and a realm magnificent |
| 76:21 | | Upon them will be green garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and they will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give to them a natural drink |
| 76:22 | | “Indeed this is a reward for you, and your endeavor is accepted and recognized. |
| 76:23 | | It is We Who have sent down the Quran to you in stages |
| 76:24 | | Therefore, be patient with constancy to the command of your Lord, and do not listen to those who are unethical or the disbeliever among them |
| 76:25 | | And glorify the name or your Lord morning and evening |
| 76:26 | | And part of the night, prostrate yourself to Him, and praise Him throughout the night |
| 76:27 | | As for these, they love the fleeting life, and put away behind them a trying day |
| 76:28 | | It is We who created them, and We have made their forms strong, but when We will, We can substitute the like of them with a change |
| 76:29 | | This is advice, whosoever wills, let him take a path to his Lord |
| 76:30 | | But you cannot, except as God wills, and God is full of Knowledge and Wisdom |
| 76:31 | | He will admit to His mercy whom He wills, but the wrongdoers, for them has He prepared a terrible penalty |
