Chapter 76 |
In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful. |
76:1
|
Was there not a time when the human being was nothing to even be mentioned? |
76:2
|
We have created the human being from a mixed seed; We test him, so We made him hear and see. |
76:3
|
We have guided him to the path, either to be thankful or to reject. |
76:4
|
We have prepared for the rejecters chains and shackles and a blazing Fire. |
76:5
|
As for the pious, they will drink from a cup which has the scent of musk. |
76:6
|
A spring from which the servants of God drink, it gushes forth abundantly. |
76:7
|
They fulfill their vows, and they fear a Day whose consequences are widespread. |
76:8
|
And they give food out of love to the poor and the orphan and the captive. |
76:9
|
"We only feed you seeking the face of God; we do not desire from you any reward or thanks." |
76:10
|
"We fear from our Lord a Day, which will be horrible and difficult." |
76:11
|
So God shielded them from the evil of that Day, and He cast towards them a look and a smile. |
76:12
|
And He rewarded them for their patience with a paradise and silk. |
76:13
|
They are reclining in it on raised couches, they do not have in it excessive sun nor bitter cold. |
76:14
|
And the shade is close upon them, and the fruit is hanging low within reach. |
76:15
|
And they are served upon with bowls of silver and glasses of crystal. |
76:16
|
Crystal laced with silver, measured accordingly. |
76:17
|
And they are given to drink in it from a cup which has the scent of ginger. |
76:18
|
A spring therein which is called 'Salsabeel.' |
76:19
|
And they are encircled with immortal children. If you see them you will think they are pearls which have been scattered about. |
76:20
|
And if you look, then you will see a blessing and a great dominion. |
76:21
|
They will have garments of fine green silk, and necklaces and bracelets from silver, and their Lord will give them a purifying drink. |
76:22
|
"This is the reward for you, and your struggle is appreciated." |
76:23
|
We have sent down to you the Qur'an in stages. |
76:24
|
So be patient to the judgment of your Lord, and do not obey from them any sinner or rejecter. |
76:25
|
And remember the name of your Lord morning and evening. |
76:26
|
And from the night you shall prostrate to Him and praise Him throughout. |
76:27
|
These people like the current life, and they put behind them a heavy Day. |
76:28
|
We have created them, and established them, and if We wished, We could replace their kind completely. |
76:29
|
This is a reminder, so let whoever wills take a path to his Lord. |
76:30
|
And you cannot will unless God wills. God is Knowledgeable, Wise. |
76:31
|
He admits whom He wills to His mercy. And as for the wicked, He has prepared for them a painful retribution. |
