| 076:002 | We have created the human from a seed that is mixed, We test him, so We made him hear and see. | Inna khalaqna al-insana min nutfatin amshajin nabtaleehi fajaAAalnahu sameeAAan baseeran |
| 076:003 | We have guided him to the path, either to be thankful or to reject. | Inna hadaynahu alssabeela imma shakiran wa-imma kafooran |

| 076:005 | As for the pious, they will drink from a cup which has the scent of musk. | Inna al-abrara yashraboona min ka/sin kana mizajuha kafooran |
| 076:006 | A spring from which the servants of God drink, it gushes forth abundantly. | AAaynan yashrabu biha AAibadu Allahi yufajjiroonaha tafjeeran |
| 076:007 | They fulfill their vows, and they fear a Day whose consequences are wide-spread. | Yoofoona bialnnathri wayakhafoona yawman kana sharruhu mustateeran |

| 076:009 | "We only feed you for the sake of God; we do not desire from you any reward or thanks." | Innama nutAAimukum liwajhi Allahi la nureedu minkum jazaan wala shukooran |
| 076:010 | "We fear from our Lord a Day, which will be horrible and difficult." | Inna nakhafu min rabbina yawman AAaboosan qamtareeran |

| 076:018 | A spring therein which is called 'Salsabeel'. | AAaynan feeha tusamma salsabeelan |
| 076:019 | And they are encircled with eternal children. If you see them you will think they are pearls which have been scattered about. | Wayatoofu AAalayhim wildanun mukhalladoona itha raaytahum hasibtahum lu/lu-an manthooran |
| 076:020 | And if you look, then you will see a blessing and a great dominion. | Wa-itha raayta thamma raayta naAAeeman wamulkan kabeeran |
| 076:021 | They will have garments of fine green silk, and necklaces and bracelets from silver, and their Lord will give them a cleansing drink. | AAaliyahum thiyabu sundusin khudrun wa-istabraqun wahulloo asawira min fiddatin wasaqahum rabbuhum sharaban tahooran |

| 076:023 | We have sent down to you the Quran in stages. | Inna nahnu nazzalna AAalayka alqur-ana tanzeelan |
| 076:024 | So be patient to the judgment of your Lord, and do not obey from them any sinner or rejecter. | Faisbir lihukmi rabbika wala tutiAA minhum athiman aw kafooran |

| 076:027 | These people like the current life, and they put behind them a heavy Day. | Inna haola-i yuhibboona alAAajilata wayatharoona waraahum yawman thaqeelan |
| 076:028 | We have created them, and We have made them strong. And if We wished, We would replace their kind completely. | Nahnu khalaqnahum washadadna asrahum wa-itha shi/na baddalna amthalahum tabdeelan |
| 076:029 | This is a reminder, so let whoever wills take a path to his Lord. | Inna hathihi tathkiratun faman shaa ittakhatha ila rabbihi sabeelan |
| 076:030 | And you cannot will, except if God wills. God is Knowledgeable, Wise. | Wama tashaoona illa an yashaa Allahu inna Allaha kana AAaleeman hakeeman |
| 076:031 | He admits whom He wills to His mercy. And as for the wicked, He has prepared for them a painful retribution. | Yudkhilu man yashao fee rahmatihi waalththalimeena aAAadda lahum AAathaban aleeman |
