Chapter 92, 21 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
By the Day as it appears in glory;
And the day when it shines in brightness,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
And the creating of the male and the female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
And accepts the best,
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
And gives the lie to the best, -
And rejects the best,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
