Chapter 76 (Sura 76)
1; WAS THERE NOT a time in the life of man when he was not even a mentionable thing?
2; Verily We created man from a sperm yoked (to the ovum) to bring out his real substance, then gave him hearing and sight.
3; We surely showed him the way that he may either be grateful or deny.
4; We have prepared for unbelievers chains and collars and a blazing fire.
5; Surely the devotees will drink cups flavoured with palm blossoms
6; From a spring of which the votaries of God will drink and make it flow in abundance.
7; Those who fulfil their vows and fear the Day whose evil shall be diffused far and wide,
8; And feed the needy for the love of Him, and the orphans and the captives,
9; (Saying): “We feed you for the sake of God, desiring neither recompense nor thanks.
10; We fear the dismal day calamitous from our Lord.”
11; So God will protect them from the evil of that day, and grant them happiness and joy,
12; And reward them for their perseverence Paradise and silken robes,
13; Where they will recline on couches feeling neither heat of the sun nor intense cold.
14; The shadows will bend over them, and low will hang the clusters of grapes.
15; Passed round will be silver flagons and goblets made of glass,
16; And crystal clear bottles of silver, of which they will determine the measure themselves.
17; There will they drink a cup flavoured with ginger
18; From a spring by the name of Ever-flowing-Salsabil.
19; And boys of everlasting youth will go about attending them. Looking at them you would think that they were pearls dispersed.
20; When you look around, you will see delights and great dominion.
21; On their bodies will be garments of the finest green silk and brocade, and they will be adorned with bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give them a purest draught to drink.
22; “This in truth is your recompense, and acceptance of your endeavours.”
23; We have revealed the Qur´an to you gradually;
24; So wait for your Lord´s command, and do not follow any sinner or disbeliever among them.
25; Meditate upon the name of your Lord morning and evening;
26; And bow in homage part of the night, and glorify Him far into the night.
27; Surely men love what hastes away and forget the grievous day (ahead).
28; We created them and fixed their bones and joints; and We could replace them when We like with others like them.
29; This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way to his Lord.
30; But you will not desire except as God wills. Verily He is all-knowing and all-wise.
31; He admits whosoever He will to His benevolence. But for the evil-doers He has prepared a painful punishment.
