Chapter 92, 21 verses
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
By the night when it covers
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And [by] the day when it appears
By the Day as it appears in glory;
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
And [by] He who created the male and female,
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
As for he who gives and fears Allah
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
And believes in the best [reward],
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
We will ease him toward ease.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
And denies the best [reward],
And gives the lie to the best, -
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
We will ease him toward difficulty.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Who had denied and turned away.
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
But the righteous one will avoid it -
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
And he is going to be satisfied.
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
