| | Aisha Bewley rendition of Surah Man(al-Insan)

| 76:1 | | Has man ever known a point of time when he was not something remembered? |
| 76:2 | | We created man from a mingled drop to test him, and We made him hearing and seeing. |
| 76:3 | | We guided him on the Way, whether he is thankful or unthankful. |
| 76:4 | | We have made ready for the kafirun shackles and chains and a Searing Blaze. |
| 76:5 | | The truly good will drink from a cup mixed with the coolness of camphor, |
| 76:6 | | a spring from which Allah´s slaves will drink, making it gush forth at will abundantly. |
| 76:7 | | They fulfil their vows and fear a Day whose evil will spread far and wide. |
| 76:8 | | They give food, despite their love for it, to the poor and orphans and captives: |
| 76:9 | | ´We feed you only out of desire for the Face of Allah. We do not want any repayment from you or any thanks. |
| 76:10 | | Truly We fear from our Lord a glowering, calamitous Day.´ |
| 76:11 | | So Allah has safeguarded them from the evil of that Day and has made them meet with radiance and pure joy. |
| 76:12 | | and will reward them for their steadfastness with a Garden and with silk. |
| 76:13 | | Reclining in it on couches, they will experience there neither burning sun nor bitter cold. |
| 76:14 | | Its shading branches will droop down over them, its ripe fruit hanging ready to be picked. |
| 76:15 | | Vessels of silver and goblets of pure crystal will be passed round among them, |
| 76:16 | | crystalline silver — they have measured them very exactly. |
| 76:17 | | They will be given there a cup to drink mixed with the warmth of ginger. |
| 76:18 | | In it there is a flowing spring called Salsabil. |
| 76:19 | | Ageless youths will circulate among them, serving them. Seeing them, you would think them scattered pearls. |
| 76:20 | | Seeing them, you see delight and a great kingdom. |
| 76:21 | | They will wear green garments of fine silk and rich brocade. They will be adorned with silver bracelets. And their Lord will give them a pure draught to drink. |
| 76:22 | | ´This is your reward. Your striving is fully acknowledged.´ |
| 76:23 | | It is We who have sent the Qur´an down to you little by little. |
| 76:24 | | Therefore wait patiently for the judgement of your Lord. Do not obey any evildoer or thankless man among them. |
| 76:25 | | Remember the Name of your Lord in the morning and the evening. |
| 76:26 | | Prostrate to Him during the night and glorify Him throughout the long night. |
| 76:27 | | These people love this fleeting world and have put the thought of a Momentous Day behind their backs. |
| 76:28 | | We created them and made their joints strong, and if We wish We can replace them with others like them. |
| 76:29 | | This truly is a Reminder, so whoever wills should take the Way towards his Lord. |
| 76:30 | | But you will not will unless Allah wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. |
| 76:31 | | He admits whoever He wills into His mercy. But He has prepared a painful punishment for the wrongdoers |
