76:1 |
|
Has there not been over Man a long period of Time, when he was nothing - (not even) mentioned?
|
76:2 |
|
Verily We created Man from a drop of mingled sperm, in order to try him: So We gave him (the gifts), of Hearing and Sight.
|
76:3 |
|
We showed him the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful (rests on his will).
|
76:4 |
|
For the Rejecters we have prepared chains, yokes, and a blazing Fire.
|
76:5 |
|
As to the Righteous, they shall drink of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Kafur,-
|
76:6 |
|
A Fountain where the Devotees of Allah do drink, making it flow in unstinted abundance.
|
76:7 |
|
They perform (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil flies far and wide.
|
76:8 |
|
And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive,-
|
76:9 |
|
(Saying),"We feed you for the sake of Allah alone: no reward do we desire from you, nor thanks.
|
76:10 |
|
"We only fear a Day of distressful Wrath from the side of our Lord."
|
76:11 |
|
But Allah will deliver them from the evil of that Day, and will shed over them a Light of Beauty and (blissful) Joy.
|
76:12 |
|
And because they were patient and constant, He will reward them with a Garden and (garments of) silk.
|
76:13 |
|
Reclining in the (Garden) on raised thrones, they will see there neither the sun's (excessive heat) nor (the moon's) excessive cold.
|
76:14 |
|
And the shades of the (Garden) will come low over them, and the bunches (of fruit), there, will hang low in humility.
|
76:15 |
|
And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and goblets of crystal,-
|
76:16 |
|
Crystal-clear, made of silver: they will determine the measure thereof (according to their wishes).
|
76:17 |
|
And they will be given to drink there of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Zanjabil,-
|
76:18 |
|
A fountain there, called Salsabil.
|
76:19 |
|
And round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): If thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls.
|
76:20 |
|
And when thou lookest, it is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent.
|
76:21 |
|
Upon them will be green Garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and they will be adorned with Bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give to them to drink of a Wine Pure and Holy.
|
76:22 |
|
"Verily this is a Reward for you, and your Endeavour is accepted and recognised."
|
76:23 |
|
It is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to thee by stages.
|
76:24 |
|
Therefore be patient with constancy to the Command of thy Lord, and hearken not to the sinner or the ingrate among them.
|
76:25 |
|
And celebrate the name or thy Lord morning and evening,
|
76:26 |
|
And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through.
|
76:27 |
|
As to these, they love the fleeting life, and put away behind them a Day (that will be) hard.
|
76:28 |
|
It is We Who created them, and We have made their joints strong; but, when We will, We can substitute the like of them by a complete change.
|
76:29 |
|
This is an admonition: Whosoever will, let him take a (straight) Path to his Lord.
|
76:30 |
|
But ye will not, except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom.
|
76:31 |
|
He will admit to His Mercy whom He will; But the wrong-doers,- for them has He prepared a grievous Penalty.
