Chapter 92, 21 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And the day resplendent
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And Him Who hath created male and female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ
And believeth in goodness;
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ
And disbelieveth in goodness;
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
Which only the most wretched must endure,
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
He who denieth and turneth away.
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Far removed from it will be the righteous
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
He verily will be content.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
