Section 1 [Dahr
76:1] Indeed there has been a time for man, when even his name did not exist
anywhere. [Dahr
76:2] Indeed We have created man from mixed semen; in order to test him –
We therefore made him hearing, seeing. [Dahr
76:3] We have indeed shown him the way - whether he is grateful or ingrate. [Dahr
76:4] We have indeed kept prepared chains, and shackles and a blazing fire
for the disbelievers. [Dahr
76:5] Indeed the virtuous will drink from a cup, containing a mixture of
Kafoor. [Dahr
76:6] The Kafoor is a spring, from which the chosen bondmen of Allah will
drink, causing it to flow wherever they wish inside their palaces. [Dahr
76:7] They fulfil their pledges, and fear a day the evil of which is
widespread. [Dahr
76:8] And out of His love, they give food to the needy, the orphan and the
prisoner. [Dahr
76:9] They say to them, “We give you food, only for the sake of Allah -
we do not seek any reward or thanks from you.” [Dahr
76:10] “Indeed we fear from our Lord a day which is extremely bitter,
most severe.” [Dahr
76:11] So Allah saved them from the evil of that day, and gave them freshness
and joy. [Dahr
76:12] And gave them Paradise and silk clothes, as a reward for their
patience. [Dahr
76:13] Reclining in it, upon thrones; they will not see the hot sunshine in
it, nor the bitter cold. [Dahr
76:14] And its shade will cover them, and its fruit clusters brought down low
for them. [Dahr
76:15] Rounds of silver cups and silver beakers, looking like glass, will be
presented upon them. [Dahr
76:16] Glass made from silver, which the servers have filled up to the
measure. [Dahr
76:17] And in Paradise they will be given to drink cups, filled with a
mixture of ginger. [Dahr
76:18] Which is a spring in Paradise called Salsabeel. [Dahr
76:19] Immortal boys shall surround them, waiting upon them; when you see
them, you would think they are scattered pearls. [Dahr
76:20] And when you look towards it, you will see serenity and a great
kingdom. [Dahr 76:21] In it they adorn clothes of fine green
silk and gold embroidery; and they are given silver bracelets to wear; and
their Lord gave them pure wine to drink. [Dahr
76:22] It will be said to them, “This is your reward – indeed your
efforts have been appreciated.” Section
2
[Dahr
76:23] Indeed We have sent down the Qur’an upon you, in stages. [Dahr
76:24] Therefore stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not
listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them. [Dahr
76:25] And remember the name of your Lord morning and evening. [Dahr
76:26] And prostrate for Him in a part of the night, and proclaim His purity
into the long night. [Dahr
76:27] Indeed these people love what they have, the fleeting one, and have
forsaken the immensely important day behind them. [Dahr
76:28] It is We Who created them, and strengthened their skeleton; and We can
replace them with others like them, whenever We will. [Dahr
76:29] This is indeed an advice; so whoever wishes may take the path towards
his Lord. [Dahr
76:30] And what will you wish, except if Allah wills; indeed Allah is All
Knowing, Wise. [Dahr
76:31] He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has
kept prepared a painful punishment. |
