Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And the day when it shines in brightness,
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
والنهار إذا تجلى
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And the creating of the male and the female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ
وما خلق الذكر والأنثى
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
إن سعيكم لشتى
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ
فأما من أعطى واتقى
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And accepts the best,
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
وصدق بالحسنى
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
فسنيسره لليسرى
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ
وأما من بخل واستغنى
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And rejects the best,
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
وكذب بالحسنى
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
فسنيسره للعسرى
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ
وما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردى
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
إن علينا للهدى
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ
وإن لنا للآخرة والأولى
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
لا يصلاها إلا الأشقى
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
الذي كذب وتولى
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
وسيجنبها الأتقى
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ
وما لأحد عنده من نعمة تجزى
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
إلا ابتغاء وجه ربه الأعلى
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
ولسوف يرضى
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
