Chapter 92, 21 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And the day when it shines in brightness,
By the Day as it appears in glory;
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ
And the creating of the male and the female,
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
And accepts the best,
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ
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,
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
And rejects the best,
And gives the lie to the best, -
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
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, -
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ
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,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
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;
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
