Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Waallayli itha yaghsha
By the night when it covers
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And the day when it shines in brightness,
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
And [by] the day when it appears
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And the creating of the male and the female,
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
And [by] He who created the male and female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
As for he who gives and fears Allah
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And accepts the best,
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
And believes in the best [reward],
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
We will ease him toward ease.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And rejects the best,
Wakaththaba bialhusna
And denies the best [reward],
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
La yaslaha illa alashqa
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.
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
Who had denied and turned away.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
But the righteous one will avoid it -
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
Walasawfa yarda
And he is going to be satisfied.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
