Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Waallayli itha yaghsha
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And the day when it shines in brightness,
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And the creating of the male and the female,
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ
And accepts the best,
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ
And rejects the best,
Wakaththaba bialhusna
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
La yaslaha illa alashqa
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
