76 The Human -Al-'Insan

In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful

[76.1] Indeed, there came upon the human a period of time when he was an unremembered thing.

[76.2] We have created the human from a (sperm) drop, a mixture, testing him; We made him to hear and see.

[76.3] Indeed, We have guided him to the path, he is either grateful or ungrateful.

[76.4] Indeed, for the unbelievers We have prepared chains, fetters and a Blazing (Fire).

[76.5] But the righteous shall drink of a goblet mixed with camphor;

[76.6] a fountain at which the worshipers of Allah drink and make it gush forth abundantly;

[76.7] they who keep their vows and fear a Day whose evil is spread;

[76.8] who give food, for the love of Him to the needy, the orphan, and the captive,

[76.9] (saying): 'We feed you only desirous of the Face of Allah; we seek of you neither recompense nor thanks,

[76.10] for we fear from our Lord a stern, frownful Day. '

[76.11] So Allah will save them from the evil of that Day and has secured for them radiance and joyfulness,

[76.12] and recompense them for their patience with a Garden, and robes of silk.

[76.13] Reclining there upon couches, they shall see neither the sun nor the moon.

[76.14] Near them shall be its shades with its clusters hung gently down,

[76.15] and passed around them shall be silver vessels, and crystal goblets,

[76.16] goblets of silver that they have precisely measured.

[76.17] And they shall be given to drink from a cup whose mixture is ginger,

[76.18] from a fountain called Salsabila.

[76.19] Immortal youths will go about them, when you see them, you would suppose them to be scattered pearls.

[76.20] When you see them, you see bliss, and a great Kingdom.

[76.21] Upon them there will be garments of green silk, rich brocade, and they will be adorned with bracelets of silver. Their Lord will give them a pure beverage to drink.

[76.22] 'See, this is your recompense, your striving is thanked. '

[76.23] We have indeed, sent down to you the Koran, a (clear) sending,

[76.24] therefore be patient under the Judgement of your Lord, and do not obey either the sinner or the unbeliever.

[76.25] And, remember the Name of your Lord at the dawn and in the evening;

[76.26] and in the night prostrate to Him; and exalt Him for a long night.

[76.27] Indeed, these love the hasty life, and are heedless and leave behind them a heavy Day.

[76.28] We created them, and We strengthened their joints, but, when We will, We shall indeed exchange their likes.

[76.29] This is indeed a Reminder, so that he who will, takes a path to his Lord.

[76.30] Yet you will not unless Allah wills; surely, Allah is the Knower, the Wise.

[76.31] He is Merciful to whom He will; but, for the harmdoers He has prepared for them a painful punishment.
