I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
By the night when it covers
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
By the night when it covers
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And the day when it shines in brightness,
والنهار إذا تجلى
By the Day as it appears in glory;
And [by] the day when it appears
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And the creating of the male and the female,
وما خلق الذكر والأنثى
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
And [by] He who created the male and female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
إن سعيكم لشتى
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
فأما من أعطى واتقى

As for he who gives and fears Allah
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And accepts the best,
وصدق بالحسنى
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
And believes in the best [reward],
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
فسنيسره لليسرى
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
We will ease him toward ease.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
وأما من بخل واستغنى
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And rejects the best,
وكذب بالحسنى
And gives the lie to the best, -
And denies the best [reward],
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
فسنيسره للعسرى

وما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردى
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
إن علينا للهدى
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
وإن لنا للآخرة والأولى
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
لا يصلاها إلا الأشقى
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
الذي كذب وتولى
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
Who had denied and turned away.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
وسيجنبها الأتقى
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
But the righteous one will avoid it -
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

وما لأحد عنده من نعمة تجزى
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ

إلا ابتغاء وجه ربه الأعلى

And he shall soon be well - pleased.
ولسوف يرضى
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
And he is going to be satisfied.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
