Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
Waallayli itha yaghsha
By the night when it covers
And the day when it shines in brightness,
By the Day as it appears in glory;
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
And [by] the day when it appears
And the creating of the male and the female,
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
And [by] He who created the male and female,
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.

Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),

And accepts the best,
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
And believes in the best [reward],
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
We will ease him toward ease.
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
And rejects the best,
And gives the lie to the best, -
Wakaththaba bialhusna
And denies the best [reward],
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
We will ease him toward difficulty.
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda

Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;

None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
La yaslaha illa alashqa
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
Who had denied and turned away.
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
But the righteous one will avoid it -
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
Walasawfa yarda
And he is going to be satisfied.
