Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the night as it envelops.
By the night when it covers
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And the day when it shines in brightness,
By the day as it appears in brightness.
And [by] the day when it appears
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And the creating of the male and the female,
By Him Who created male and female.
And [by] He who created the male and female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ

But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient.
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ

And what will his wealth avail him when he goes down (in destruction)?.
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Truly! On Us is (to give) guidance.
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world).

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ

Therefore I have warned you of a blazing Fire (Hell).
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
None shall enter it save the most wretched.
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.
Who denies and turns away.
Who had denied and turned away.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
And Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2) will be far removed from it (Hell).
But the righteous one will avoid it -
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification,
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

And he shall soon be well - pleased.
He surely will be pleased (when he enters Paradise).
And he is going to be satisfied.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
