كـَلَّا بَلۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ ٢٠
But no! In fact, you love this fleeting world,
75:20
وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ ٢١
and neglect the Hereafter.
75:21
وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ نَّاضِرَةٌ ٢٢
On that Day ˹some˺ faces will be bright,
75:22
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٞ ٢٣
looking at their Lord.
75:23
وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بَاسِرَةٞ ٢٤
And ˹other˺ faces will be gloomy,
75:24
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفۡعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٞ ٢٥
anticipating something devastating to befall them.
75:25
كـَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِيَ ٢٦
But no! ˹Beware of the day˺ when the soul reaches the collar bone ˹as it leaves˺,
75:26
وَقِيلَ مَنۡۜ رَاقٖ ٢٧
and it will be said, “Is there any healer ˹who can save this life˺?”
75:27
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡفِرَاقُ ٢٨
And the dying person realizes it is ˹their˺ time to depart,
75:28
وَٱلۡتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ ٢٩
and ˹then˺ their feet are tied together ˹in a shroud˺.
75:29
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡمَسَاقُ ٣٠
On that day they will be driven to your Lord ˹alone˺.
75:30
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ ٣١
This denier neither believed nor prayed,
75:31
وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ٣٢
but persisted in denial and turned away,
75:32
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ ٣٣
then went to their own people, walking boastfully.
75:33
أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰ ٣٤
Woe to you, and more woe!
75:34
ثُمَّ أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰٓ ٣٥
Again, woe to you, and even more woe!
75:35
أَيَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتۡرَكَ سُدًى ٣٦
Do people think they will be left without purpose?
75:36
أَلَمۡ يَكُ نُطۡفَةٗ مِّن مَّنِيّٖ يُمۡنَىٰ ٣٧
Were they not ˹once˺ a sperm-drop emitted?
75:37
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةٗ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ٣٨
Then they became a clinging clot,1 then He developed and perfected their form,
75:38
فَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُ ٱلزَّوۡجَيۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ ٣٩
producing from it both sexes, male and female.
75:39
أَلَيۡسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحۡـِۧيَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ ٤٠
Is such ˹a Creator˺ unable to bring the dead back to life?
75:40
هَلۡ أَتَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡإِنسَٰنِ حِينٞ مِّنَ ٱلدَّهۡرِ لَمۡ يَكُن شَيۡـٔٗا مَّذۡكُورًا ١
Is there not a period of time when each human is nothing yet worth mentioning?1
76:1
إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ أَمۡشَاجٖ نَّبۡتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ سَمِيعَۢا بَصِيرًا ٢
˹For˺ indeed, We ˹alone˺ created humans from a drop of mixed fluids,1 ˹in order˺ to test them, so We made them hear and see.
76:2
إِنَّا هَدَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلسَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرٗا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا ٣
We already showed them the Way, whether they ˹choose to˺ be grateful or ungrateful.
76:3
إِنَّآ أَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ سَلَٰسِلَاْ وَأَغۡلَٰلٗا وَسَعِيرًا ٤
Indeed, We have prepared for the disbelievers chains, shackles, and a blazing Fire.
76:4
إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ يَشۡرَبُونَ مِن كَأۡسٖ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا ٥
Indeed, the virtuous will have a drink ˹of pure wine˺—flavoured with camphor—
76:5
