وما خلق الذكر والأنثى
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ

الذي كذب وتولى
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

Far removed from it will be the righteous
وسيجنبها الأتقى
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification,
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
