Chapter 92, 21 verses
By the night when it covers
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And [by] the day when it appears
And the day resplendent
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And [by] He who created the male and female,
And Him Who hath created male and female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
As for he who gives and fears Allah
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And believes in the best [reward],
And believeth in goodness;
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will ease him toward ease.
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And denies the best [reward],
And disbelieveth in goodness;
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will ease him toward difficulty.
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
Which only the most wretched must endure,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who had denied and turned away.
He who denieth and turneth away.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
But the righteous one will avoid it -
Far removed from it will be the righteous
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
And he is going to be satisfied.
He verily will be content.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
