Al-Insan

Quran Text — Al-Insan

76:1 Was there not a time in history when man was nothing to be mentioned?

76:2 We created man from a drop of mingled fluid, to test him, and We endowed him with hearing and sight.

76:3 We guided him on the path, whether he be grateful or ungrateful.

76:4 For the unbelievers, We prepared chains, shackles, and a blazing inferno.

76:5 The righteous will drink from a cup whose mixture is camphor.

76:6 A spring from which the servants of Allah will drink, causing it to gush abundantly.

76:7 They fulfill their vows and dread a Day whose evil would be widespread.

76:8 They feed, for the love of Him, the destitute, the orphan, and the captive.

76:9 “We feed you only for the sake of Allah; we desire neither compensation nor thanks from you.

76:10 We fear from our Lord a frowning, grim Day.”

76:11 So, Allah will protect them from the woes of that Day and grant them radiance and happiness.

76:12 And He will reward them, for being patient, with a garden and silk.

76:13 Reclining therein on adorned couches, they will see there neither the excessive heat of the sun, nor severe cold.

76:14 Its shade hovering over them, with its fruit clusters hanging low.

76:15 They will be served from vessels of silver and crystal-clear cups.

76:16 Cups of silver, they measure them precisely.

76:17 They will be given to drink a drink mixed with ginger.

76:18 From a spring therein named Salsabil.

76:19 And there will circulate among them eternalized youths, when you see them, you would think they are scattered pearls.

76:20 When you look around, you will see delight and a vast kingdom.

76:21 Upon them will be garments of fine, green silk and heavy brocade, and they will be adorned with bracelets of silver. Their Lord will give them a pure drink.

76:22 “This is your reward. And your effort has been appreciated.”

76:23 It is We who revealed the Quran to you, gradually.

76:24 So be patient for your Lord’s judgment, and obey neither the sinner nor the ungrateful among them.

76:25 And remember the name of your Lord morning and evening.

76:26 And during part of the night, prostrate yourself to Him, and glorify Him long into the night.

76:27 These people love the fleeting life, and they leave behind a heavy day.

76:28 We created them and strengthened their frames, and when We will, We will replace them with others like them.

76:29 This is a reminder. So, whoever wills, let him take a way towards his Lord.

76:30 But you cannot will, unless Allah wills. Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.

76:31 He admits into His mercy whom He wills. But for the wrongdoers, He prepared a severe punishment.
