Chapter 92, 21 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
والنهار إذا تجلى
And the day when it shines in brightness,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
وما خلق الذكر والأنثى
And the creating of the male and the female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
إن سعيكم لشتى
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
فأما من أعطى واتقى
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
وصدق بالحسنى
And accepts the best,
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
فسنيسره لليسرى
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
وأما من بخل واستغنى
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
وكذب بالحسنى
And rejects the best,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
فسنيسره للعسرى
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
وما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردى
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
إن علينا للهدى
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
وإن لنا للآخرة والأولى
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
لا يصلاها إلا الأشقى
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
الذي كذب وتولى
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
وسيجنبها الأتقى
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
وما لأحد عنده من نعمة تجزى
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
إلا ابتغاء وجه ربه الأعلى
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
ولسوف يرضى
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
