[75:20]

Nay, but ye do love the fleeting Now

[75:21]

And neglect the Hereafter.

[75:22]

That day will faces be resplendent,

[75:23]

Looking toward their Lord;

[75:24]

And that day will other faces be despondent,

[75:25]

Thou wilt know that some great disaster is about to fall on them.

[75:26]

Nay, but when the life cometh up to the throat

[75:27]

And men say: Where is the wizard (who can save him now) ?

[75:28]

And he knoweth that it is the parting;

[75:29]

And agony is heaped on agony;

[75:30]

Unto thy Lord that day will be the driving.

[75:31]

For he neither trusted, nor prayed.

[75:32]

But he denied and flouted.

[75:33]

Then went he to his folk with glee.

[75:34]

Nearer unto thee and nearer,

[75:35]

Again nearer unto thee and nearer (is the doom).

[75:36]

[75:37]

Was he not a drop of fluid which gushed forth ?

[75:38]

Then he became a clot; then (Allah) shaped and fashioned

[75:39]

And made of him a pair, the male and female.

[75:40]

Is not He (Who doeth so) Able to bring the dead to life ?

Time or Man

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[76:1]

Hath there come upon man (ever) any period of time in which he was a thing unremembered ?

[76:2]

Lo! We create man from a drop of thickened fluid to test him; so We make him hearing, knowing.

[76:3]

Lo! We have shown him the way, whether he be grateful or disbelieving.

[76:4]

Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers manacles and carcans and a raging fire.

[76:5]

Lo! the righteous shall drink of a cup whereof the mixture is of Kafur,
