Who denies and turns away.
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
And Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2) will be far removed from it (Hell).
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification,
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
And who has (in mind) no favour from anyone to be paid back,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
Except to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High.
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
He surely will be pleased (when he enters Paradise).
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
