76:1  Indeed there has been a time for man, when even his name did not exist anywhere

76:2  Indeed We have created man from mixed semen; in order to test him – We therefore made him hearing, knowing

76:3  We have indeed shown him the way - whether he is grateful or ingrate

76:4  We have indeed kept prepared chains, and shackles and a blazing fire for the disbelievers

76:5  Indeed the virtuous will drink from a cup, containing a mixture of Kafoor

76:6  The Kafoor is a spring, from which the chosen bondmen of Allah will drink, causing it to flow wherever they wish inside their palaces

76:7  They fulfil their pledges, and fear a day the evil of which is widespread

76:8  And out of His love, they give food to the needy, the orphan and the prisoner

76:9  They say to them, “We give you food, only for the sake of Allah - we do not seek any reward or thanks from you.”

76:10  “Indeed we fear from our Lord a day which is extremely bitter, most severe.”

76:11  So Allah saved them from the evil of that day, and gave them freshness and joy

76:12  And gave them Paradise and silk clothes, as a reward for their patience

76:13  Reclining in it, upon thrones; they will not see the hot sunshine in it, nor the bitter cold

76:14  And its shade will cover them, and its fruit clusters brought down low for them

76:15  Rounds of silver cups and silver beakers, looking like glass, will be presented upon them

76:16  Glass made from silver, which the servers have filled up to the measure

76:17  And in Paradise they will be given to drink cups, filled with a mixture of ginger

76:18  Which is a spring in Paradise called Salsabeel

76:19  Immortal youths shall surround them, waiting upon them; when you see them, you would think they are scattered pearls

76:20  And when you look towards it, you will see serenity and a great kingdom

76:21  In it they adorn clothes of fine green silk and gold embroidery; and they are given silver bracelets to wear; and their Lord gave them pure wine to drink

76:22  It will be said to them, “This is your reward – indeed your efforts have been appreciated.”

76:23  Indeed We have sent down the Qur’an upon you, in stages

76:24  Therefore stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them

76:25  And remember the name of your Lord morning and evening

76:26  And prostrate for Him in a part of the night, and proclaim His purity into the long night

76:27  Indeed these people love what they have, the fleeting one, and have forsaken the immensely important day behind them

76:28  It is We Who created them, and strengthened their skeleton; and We can replace them with others like them, whenever We will

76:29  This is indeed an advice; so whoever wishes may take the path towards his Lord

76:30  And what will you wish, except if Allah wills; indeed Allah is All Knowing, Wise

76:31  He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has kept prepared a painful punishment
