Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Waallayli itha yaghsha
By the night when it covers
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
And the day when it shines in brightness,
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
And [by] the day when it appears
By the Day as it appears in glory;
And the creating of the male and the female,
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
And [by] He who created the male and female,
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
As for he who gives and fears Allah
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
And accepts the best,
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
And believes in the best [reward],
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
We will ease him toward ease.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
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
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
And rejects the best,
Wakaththaba bialhusna
And denies the best [reward],
And gives the lie to the best, -
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
We will ease him toward difficulty.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
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?
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
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].
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
La yaslaha illa alashqa
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
Who had denied and turned away.
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
But the righteous one will avoid it -
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
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
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
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.
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
Walasawfa yarda
And he is going to be satisfied.
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
