Chapter 76, 31 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Has there not been over man a period of time, when he was not a thing worth mentioning?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم هل أتى على الإنسان حين من الدهر لم يكن شيئا مذكورا
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Hath there come upon man (ever) any period of time in which he was a thing unremembered ?
هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْإِنسَٰنِ حِينٌ مِّنَ ٱلدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُن شَيْـًٔا مَّذْكُورًا
Verily, We have created man from Nutfah (drops) of mixed semen (sexual discharge of man and woman), in order to try him: so We made him hearer and seer.
إنا خلقنا الإنسان من نطفة أمشاج نبتليه فجعلناه سميعا بصيرا
Lo! We create man from a drop of thickened fluid to test him; so We make him hearing, knowing.
إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ نَّبْتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلْنَٰهُ سَمِيعًۢا بَصِيرًا
Verily, We showed him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful.
إنا هديناه السبيل إما شاكرا وإما كفورا
Lo! We have shown him the way, whether he be grateful or disbelieving.
إِنَّا هَدَيْنَٰهُ ٱلسَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا
Verily, We have prepared for the disbelievers iron chains, iron collars, and a blazing Fire.
إنا أعتدنا للكافرين سلاسل وأغلالا وسعيرا
Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers manacles and carcans and a raging fire.

إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ يَشْرَبُونَ مِن كَأْسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا
A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah will drink, causing it to gush forth abundantly.
عينا يشرب بها عباد الله يفجرونها تفجيرا
A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah drink, making it gush forth abundantly,
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ ٱللَّهِ يُفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفْجِيرًا
They (are those who) fulfil (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil will be wide-spreading.
يوفون بالنذر ويخافون يوما كان شره مستطيرا
(Because) they perform the vow and fear a day whereof the evil is wide - spreading,
يُوفُونَ بِٱلنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا كَانَ شَرُّهُۥ مُسْتَطِيرًا
And they give food, inspite of their love for it (or for the love of Him), to the Miskin (the poor), the orphan, and the captive
ويطعمون الطعام على حبه مسكينا ويتيما وأسيرا
And feed with food the needy wretch, the orphan and the prisoner, for love of Him,
وَيُطْعِمُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِۦ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا
(Saying): "We feed you seeking Allah's Countenance only. We wish for no reward, nor thanks from you.
إنما نطعمكم لوجه الله لا نريد منكم جزاء ولا شكورا
(Saying): We feed you, for the sake of Allah only. We wish for no reward nor thanks from you;
إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ ٱللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنكُمْ جَزَآءً وَلَا شُكُورًا
"Verily, We fear from our Lord a Day, hard and distressful, that will make the faces look horrible (from extreme dislike to it)."
إنا نخاف من ربنا يوما عبوسا قمطريرا
Lo! we fear from our Lord a day of frowning and of fate.
إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِن رَّبِّنَا يَوْمًا عَبُوسًا قَمْطَرِيرًا
So Allah saved them from the evil of that Day, and gave them Nadrah (a light of beauty) and joy.
فوقاهم الله شر ذلك اليوم ولقاهم نضرة وسرورا
Therefor Allah hath warded off from them the evil of that day, and hath made them find brightness and joy;
فَوَقَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَلَقَّىٰهُمْ نَضْرَةً وَسُرُورًا

وجزاهم بما صبروا جنة وحريرا

متكئين فيها على الأرائك ۖ لا يرون فيها شمسا ولا زمهريرا
Reclining therein upon couches, they will find there neither (heat of) a sun nor bitter cold.
مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ فِيهَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ لَا يَرَوْنَ فِيهَا شَمْسًا وَلَا زَمْهَرِيرًا

ودانية عليهم ظلالها وذللت قطوفها تذليلا
The shade thereof is close upon them and the clustered fruits thereof bow down.
وَدَانِيَةً عَلَيْهِمْ ظِلَٰلُهَا وَذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُهَا تَذْلِيلًا
And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and cups of crystal -
ويطاف عليهم بآنية من فضة وأكواب كانت قواريرا

عينا فيها تسمى سلسبيلا

عَيْنًا فِيهَا تُسَمَّىٰ سَلْسَبِيلًا

۞ ويطوف عليهم ولدان مخلدون إذا رأيتهم حسبتهم لؤلؤا منثورا
There wait on them immortal youths, whom, when thou seest, thou wouldst take for scattered pearls.
وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَٰنٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ حَسِبْتَهُمْ لُؤْلُؤًا مَّنثُورًا
And when you look there (in Paradise), you will see a delight (that cannot be imagined), and a great dominion.
وإذا رأيت ثم رأيت نعيما وملكا كبيرا
When thou seest, thou wilt see there bliss and high estate.
وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ ثَمَّ رَأَيْتَ نَعِيمًا وَمُلْكًا كَبِيرًا

عَٰلِيَهُمْ ثِيَابُ سُندُسٍ خُضْرٌ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٌ وَحُلُّوٓا۟ أَسَاوِرَ مِن فِضَّةٍ وَسَقَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ شَرَابًا طَهُورًا

Therefore be patient (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) with constancy to the Command of your Lord (Allah, by doing your duty to Him and by conveying His Message to mankind), and obey neither a sinner nor a among them.
فاصبر لحكم ربك ولا تطع منهم آثما أو كفورا
So submit patiently to thy Lord's command, and obey not of them any guilty one or .
فَٱصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تُطِعْ مِنْهُمْ ءَاثِمًا أَوْ كَفُورًا

إن هؤلاء يحبون العاجلة ويذرون وراءهم يوما ثقيلا
Lo! these love fleeting life, and put behind them (the remembrance of) a grievous day.
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ يُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُونَ وَرَآءَهُمْ يَوْمًا ثَقِيلًا
It is We Who created them, and We have made them of strong built. And when We will, We can replace them with others like them with a complete replacement.
