هَلۡ اَتٰى عَلَى الۡاِنۡسَانِ حِيۡنٌ مِّنَ الدَّهۡرِ لَمۡ يَكُنۡ شَيۡـًٔـا مَّذۡكُوۡرًا ١
76:1Hath there come upon man (ever) any period of time in which he was a thing unremembered?
اِنَّا خَلَقۡنَا الۡاِنۡسَانَ مِنۡ نُّطۡفَةٍ اَمۡشَاجٍۖ نَّبۡتَلِيۡهِ فَجَعَلۡنٰهُ سَمِيۡعًۢـا بَصِيۡرًا ٢
76:2Lo! We create man from a drop of thickened fluid to test him; so We make him hearing, knowing.
اِنَّا هَدَيۡنٰهُ السَّبِيۡلَ اِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَّاِمَّا كَفُوۡرًا ٣
76:3Lo! We have shown him the way, whether he be grateful or disbelieving.
اِنَّاۤ اَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ سَلٰسِلَا۟ وَاَغۡلٰلًا وَّسَعِيۡرًا ٤
76:4Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers manacles and carcans and a raging fire.
اِنَّ الۡاَبۡرَارَ يَشۡرَبُوۡنَ مِنۡ كَاۡسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُوۡرًاۚ ٥
76:5Lo! the righteous shall drink of a cup whereof the mixture is of water of Kafur,
عَيۡنًا يَّشۡرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ اللّٰهِ يُفَجِّرُوۡنَهَا تَفۡجِيۡرًا ٦
76:6A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah drink, making it gush forth abundantly,
يُوۡفُوۡنَ بِالنَّذۡرِ وَيَخَافُوۡنَ يَوۡمًا كَانَ شَرُّهٗ مُسۡتَطِيۡرًا ٧
76:7(Because) they perform the vow and fear a day whereof the evil is wide-spreading,
وَيُطۡعِمُوۡنَ الطَّعَامَ عَلٰى حُبِّهٖ مِسۡكِيۡنًا وَّيَتِيۡمًا وَّاَسِيۡرًا ٨
76:8And feed with food the needy wretch, the orphan and the prisoner, for love of Him,
اِنَّمَا نُطۡعِمُكُمۡ لِـوَجۡهِ اللّٰهِ لَا نُرِيۡدُ مِنۡكُمۡ جَزَآءً وَّلَا شُكُوۡرًا ٩
76:9(Saying): We feed you, for the sake of Allah only. We wish for no reward nor thanks from you;
اِنَّا نَخَافُ مِنۡ رَّبِّنَا يَوۡمًا عَبُوۡسًا قَمۡطَرِيۡرًا ١٠
76:10Lo! we fear from our Lord a day of frowning and of fate.
فَوَقٰٮهُمُ اللّٰهُ شَرَّ ذٰ لِكَ الۡيَوۡمِ وَ لَقّٰٮهُمۡ نَضۡرَةً وَّسُرُوۡرًاۚ ١١
76:11Therefor Allah hath warded off from them the evil of that day, and hath made them find brightness and joy;
وَجَزٰٮهُمۡ بِمَا صَبَرُوۡا جَنَّةً وَّحَرِيۡرًاۙ ١٢
76:12And hath awarded them for all that they endured, a Garden and silk attire;
مُّتَّكِـِٕـيۡنَ فِيۡهَا عَلَى الۡاَرَآٮِٕكِۚ لَا يَرَوۡنَ فِيۡهَا شَمۡسًا وَّلَا زَمۡهَرِيۡرًاۚ ١٣
76:13Reclining therein upon couches, they will find there neither (heat of) a sun nor bitter cold.
وَدَانِيَةً عَلَيۡهِمۡ ظِلٰلُهَا وَذُلِّلَتۡ قُطُوۡفُهَا تَذۡلِيۡلًا ١٤
76:14The shade thereof is close upon them and the clustered fruits thereof bow down.
وَيُطَافُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ بِاٰنِيَةٍ مِّنۡ فِضَّةٍ وَّاَكۡوَابٍ كَانَتۡ قَوَارِيۡرَا۟ؔۙ ١٥
76:15Goblets of silver are brought round for them, and beakers (as) of glass
قَوَارِيۡرَا۟ؔ مِنۡ فِضَّةٍ قَدَّرُوۡهَا تَقۡدِيۡرًا ١٦
76:16(Bright as) glass but (made) of silver, which they (themselves) have measured to the measure (of their deeds).
وَيُسۡقَوۡنَ فِيۡهَا كَاۡسًا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنۡجَبِيۡلًاۚ ١٧
76:17There are they watered with a cup whereof the mixture is of Zanjabil,
عَيۡنًا فِيۡهَا تُسَمّٰى سَلۡسَبِيۡلًا ١٨
76:18The water of a spring therein, named Salsabil.
وَيَطُوۡفُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وِلۡدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُوۡنَۚ اِذَا رَاَيۡتَهُمۡ حَسِبۡتَهُمۡ لُـؤۡلُـؤًا مَّنۡثُوۡرًا ١٩
76:19There, serve them youths of ever lasting youths, whom, when thou seest, thou wouldst take for scattered pearls.
وَاِذَا رَاَيۡتَ ثَمَّ رَاَيۡتَ نَعِيۡمًا وَّمُلۡكًا كَبِيۡرًا ٢٠
76:20When thou seest, thou wilt see there bliss and high estate.
عٰلِيَهُمۡ ثِيَابُ سُنۡدُسٍ خُضۡرٌ وَّاِسۡتَبۡرَقٌ وَّحُلُّوۡۤا اَسَاوِرَ مِنۡ فِضَّةٍۚ وَسَقٰٮهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ شَرَابًا طَهُوۡرًا ٢١
76:21Their 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.
اِنَّ هٰذَا كَانَ لَـكُمۡ جَزَآءً وَّكَانَ سَعۡيُكُمۡ مَّشۡكُوۡرًا ٢٢
76:22(And it will be said unto them): Lo! this is a reward for you. Your endeavour (upon earth) hath found acceptance.
اِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ الۡقُرۡاٰنَ تَنۡزِيۡلًاۚ ٢٣
76:23Lo! We, even We, have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a revelation;
فَاصۡبِرۡ لِحُكۡمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تُطِعۡ مِنۡهُمۡ اٰثِمًا اَوۡ كَفُوۡرًاۚ ٢٤
76:24So submit patiently to thy Lord's command, and obey not of them any guilty one or disbeliever.
وَاذۡكُرِ اسۡمَ رَبِّكَ بُكۡرَةً وَّاَصِيۡلًاۚۖ ٢٥
76:25Remember the name of thy Lord at morn and evening.
