--- |
|---|
| 76:1 | | Hath there come upon man (ever) any period of time in which he was a thing unremembered |
| 76:2 | | Lo! We create man from a drop of thickened fluid to test him; so We make him hearing, knowing |
| 76:3 | | Lo! We have shown him the way, whether he be grateful or disbelieving |
| 76:4 | | Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers manacles and carcans and a raging fire |
| 76:5 | | Lo! the righteous shall drink of a cup whereof the mixture is of Kafur |
| 76:6 | | A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah drink, making it gush forth abundantly |
| 76:7 | | (Because) they perform the vow and fear a day whereof the evil is wide-spreading |
| 76:8 | | And feed with food the needy wretch, the orphan and the prisoner, for love of Him |
| 76:9 | | (Saying): We feed you, for the sake of Allah only. We wish for no reward nor thanks from you |
| 76:10 | | Lo! we fear from our Lord a day of frowning and of fate |
| 76:11 | | Therefor Allah hath warded off from them the evil of that day, and hath made them find brightness and joy |
| 76:12 | | And hath awarded them for all that they endured, a Garden and silk attire |
| 76:13 | | Reclining therein upon couches, they will find there neither (heat of) a sun nor bitter cold |
| 76:14 | | The shade thereof is close upon them and the clustered fruits thereof bow down |
| 76:15 | | Goblets of silver are brought round for them, and beakers (as) of glas |
| 76:16 | | (Bright as) glass but (made) of silver, which they (themselves) have measured to the measure (of their deeds) |
| 76:17 | | There are they watered with a cup whereof the mixture is of Zanjabil |
| 76:18 | | (The water of) a spring therein, named Salsabil |
| 76:19 | | There wait on them immortal youths, whom, when thou seest, thou wouldst take for scattered pearls |
| 76:20 | | When thou seest, thou wilt see there bliss and high estate |
| 76:21 | | Their raiment will be fine green silk and gold embroidery. Bracelets of silver will they wear. Their Lord will slake their thirst with a pure drink |
| 76:22 | | (And it will be said unto them): Lo! this is a reward for you. Your endeavour (upon earth) hath found acceptance |
| 76:23 | | Lo! We, even We, have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a revelation |
| 76:24 | | So submit patiently to thy Lord's command, and obey not of them any guilty one or disbeliever |
| 76:25 | | Remember the name of thy Lord at morn and evening |
| 76:26 | | And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong night |
| 76:27 | | Lo! these love fleeting life, and put behind them (the remembrance of) a grievous day |
| 76:28 | | We, even We, created them, and strengthened their frame. And when We will, We can replace them, bringing others like them in their stead |
| 76:29 | | Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord |
| 76:30 | | Yet ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise |
| 76:31 | | He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil-doers hath prepared a painful doom |
