> Surah 76
> 
> Al Insan (Man) -or- Al Dahr (The Time)
> 
> In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
> 
> 1.  Has there not been over Man a long period of Time when he was nothing--(not even) mentioned?
> 
> 2.  Verily We created Man from a drop of mingled sperm, in order to try him: so We gave him (the gifts) of Hearing and Sight.
> 
> 3.  We showed him the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful (rests on his will).
> 
> 4.  For the Rejecters We have prepared Chains, Yokes, and a Blazing Fire.
> 
> 5.  As to the Righteous, they shall drink of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Kafur--
> 
> 6.  A Fountain where the Devotees of Allah do drink, making it flow in unstinted abundance.
> 
> 7.  They perform (their) vows and they fear a Day whose evil flies far and wide.
> 
> 8.  And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive--
> 
> 9.  (Saying), "We feed you for the sake of Allah alone: No reward do we desire from you, nor thanks.
> 
> 10.  "We only fear a Day of distressful Wrath from the side of our Lord."
> 
> 11.  But Allah will deliver them from the evil of that Day, and will shed over them a light of Beauty and a (blissful) Joy.
> 
> 12.  And because they were patient and constant, He will reward them with a Garden and (garments of) silk.
> 
> 13.  Reclining in the (Garden) on raised thrones, they will see there neither the sun's (excessive heat) nor (the moon's) excessive cold.
> 
> 14.  And the shades of the (Garden) will come low over them, and the bunches (of fruit), there, will hang low in humility.
> 
> 15.  And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and goblets of crystal--
> 
> 16.  Crystal-clear, made of silver: they will determine the measure thereof (according to their wishes).
> 
> 17.  And they will be given to drink there of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Zanjabil--
> 
> 18.  A fountain there, called Salsabil.
> 
> 19.  And round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): if thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls.
> 
> 20.  And when thou lookest, it is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent.
> 
> 21.  Upon them will be green Garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and they will be adorned with Bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give to them to drink of a Wine Pure and Holy.
> 
> 22.  "Verily this is a Reward for you, and your Endeavor is accepted and recognized."
> 
> 23.  It is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to thee by stages.
> 
> 24.  Therefore be patient with constancy to the Command of thy Lord, and hearken not to the sinner or the ingrate among them.
> 
> 25.  And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening,
> 
> 26.  And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through.
> 
> 27.  As to these, they love the fleeting life, and put away behind them a Day (that will be) hard.
> 
> 28.  It is We Who created them, and We have made their joints strong; but, when We will, We can substitute the like of them by a complete change.
> 
> 29.  This is an admonition: whosoever will, let him take a (straight) Path to his Lord.
> 
> 30.  But ye will not, except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom.
> 
> 31.  He will admit to His Mercy Whom He will; but the wrongdoers--for them has He prepared a grievous Penalty.
