Chapter 92, 21 verses
Waallayli itha yaghsha
By the night when it covers
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
And [by] the day when it appears
And the day when it shines in brightness,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
And [by] He who created the male and female,
And the creating of the male and the female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
As for he who gives and fears Allah
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
And believes in the best [reward],
And accepts the best,
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
We will ease him toward ease.
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
Wakaththaba bialhusna
And denies the best [reward],
And rejects the best,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
We will ease him toward difficulty.
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
La yaslaha illa alashqa
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
Who had denied and turned away.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
But the righteous one will avoid it -
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
Walasawfa yarda
And he is going to be satisfied.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
