Chapter 92, 21 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
Waallayli itha yaghsha
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And the day resplendent
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And Him Who hath created male and female,
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ
And believeth in goodness;
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ
And disbelieveth in goodness;
Wakaththaba bialhusna
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
Which only the most wretched must endure,
La yaslaha illa alashqa
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
He who denieth and turneth away.
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Far removed from it will be the righteous
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
He verily will be content.
Walasawfa yarda
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
