| Sura - 76 The Human | |||
| 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. | ||
