76-1 : In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. 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 glass

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.
