[76:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
|
| 1. |
[76:1] Is it not a fact that there was a time when the human being was nothing
to be mentioned? |
| 2. |
[76:2] We created the human from a liquid mixture, from two parents, in order
to test him. Thus, we made him a hearer and a seer. |
| 3. |
[76:3] We showed him the two paths, then he is either appreciative, or
unappreciative. |
| 4. |
[76:4] We prepared for the disbelievers chains, shackles, and a blazing Hell. |
| 5. |
[76:5] As for the virtuous, they will drink from cups spiced with nectar. |
| 6. |
[76:6] A spring that is reserved for GOD's servants; it will gush out as
they will. |
| 7. |
[76:7] They fulfill their pledges, and reverence a day that is extremely
difficult. |
| 8. |
[76:8] They donate their favorite food to the poor, the orphan, and the captive. |
| 9. |
[76:9] "We feed you for the sake of GOD; we expect no reward from you, nor
thanks. |
| 10. |
[76:10] "We fear from our Lord a day that is full of misery and trouble." |
| 11. |
[76:11] Consequently, GOD protects them from the evils of that day, and rewards
them with joy and contentment. |
| 12. |
[76:12] He rewards them for their steadfastness with Paradise, and silk. |
| 13. |
[76:13] They relax therein on luxurious furnishings. They suffer neither
the heat of the sun, nor any cold. |
| 14. |
[76:14] The shade covers them therein, and the fruits are brought within
reach. |
| 15. |
[76:15] They are served drinks in silver containers and cups that are
translucent. |
| 16. |
[76:16] Translucent cups, though made of silver; they rightly deserved all
this. |
| 17. |
[76:17] They enjoy drinks of delicious flavors. |
| 18. |
[76:18] From a spring therein known as "Salsabeel." |
| 19. |
[76:19] Serving them will be immortal servants. When you see them, they will
look like scattered pearls. |
| 20. |
[76:20] Wherever you look, you will see bliss, and a wonderful dominion. |
| 21. |
[76:21] On them will be clothes of green velvet, satin, and silver ornaments.
Their Lord will provide them with pure drinks. |
| 22. |
[76:22] This is the reward that awaits you, for your efforts have been
appreciated. |
| 23. |
[76:23] We have revealed to you this Quran; a special revelation from us. |
| 24. |
[76:24] You shall steadfastly carry out your Lord's commandments, and do
not obey any sinful disbeliever among them. |
| 25. |
[76:25] And commemorate the name of your Lord day and night. |
| 26. |
[76:26] During the night, fall prostrate before Him, and glorify Him many
a long night. |
| 27. |
[76:27] These people are preoccupied with this fleeting life, while disregarding
- just ahead of them - a heavy day. |
| 28. |
[76:28] We created them, and established them, and, whenever we will, we
can substitute others in their place. |
| 29. |
[76:29] This is a reminder: whoever wills shall choose the path to his Lord. |
| 30. |
[76:30] Whatever you will is in accordance with GOD's will. GOD is Omniscient,
Wise. |
| 31. |
[76:31] He admits whomever He wills into His mercy. As for the transgressors,
He has prepared for them a painful retribution. |
