76:1  There has, certainly, come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing worth mentioning

76:2  WE have created man from a mingled sperm-drop that WE might try him; so WE made him hearing, seeing

76:3  WE have shown him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful

76:4  Verily, WE have prepared for the disbelievers chains and iron-collars and blazing Fire

76:5  But the virtuous shall drink of a cup, tempered with camphor

76:6  From a spring wherefrom the servants of ALLAH will drink - they make it gush forth - a forceful gushing forth

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

76:8  And they feed, for love of HIM, the poor, the orphan and the prisoner

76:9  Assuring them: `WE feed you to win ALLAH's pleasure only. We desire no reward nor thanks from you

76:10  `Verily, we fear from our Lord a frowning, distressful day.

76:11  So ALLAH will save them from the evil of that day, and will grant them joy and happiness

76:12  And HE will reward them for their steadfastness, with a Garden and raiments of silk

76:13  Reclining therein upon couches, they will experience therein neither excessive heat nor bitter cold

76:14  And its shades will be close over them, and its clustered fruits will be brought within their easy reach

76:15  And vessels of silver will be passed round among them, and goblet

76:16  Bright as glass but made of silver, which they will measure according to their own measure

76:17  And therein will they be given to drink a cup tempered with ginger

76:18  From a spring named Salsabil

76:19  And there will wait upon them youths who will not age. When thou seest them, thou thinkest them to be pearls scattered about

76:20  And when thou seest, thou wilt see there a bliss and a vast kingdom

76:21  On them will be garments of fine green silk and thick brocade. And they will be made to wear bracelets of silver. And their Lord will give them to drink a pure beverage

76:22  They will be told: `This is your reward, and your effort is appreciated.

76:23  Surely, WE have revealed unto thee the Qur'an piecemeal

76:24  So wait patiently for the judgment of thy Lord and yield not to any sinful or ungrateful one among them

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

76:26  And during the night prostrate thyself before HIM, and extol HIS glory for a long part of the night

76:27  Verily, these people love the present life, and they neglect a very hard day ahead

76:28  WE have created them and have strengthened their make; and when WE will, WE can replace them by others like them

76:29  Verily, this is a Reminder. So whoever wishes, may take a way unto his Lord

76:30  But you cannot so wish unless ALLAH so wills. Verily, ALLAH is All-Knowing, Wise

76:31  HE admits into HIS mercy whom HE pleases and for the wrongdoers HE has prepared a painful punishment
