By the night when it covers
Shakir
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Al Lail
Chapter 92, 21 verses
Saheeh International
And [by] the day when it appears
Shakir
And the day when it shines in brightness,
Saheeh International
And [by] He who created the male and female,
Shakir
And the creating of the male and the female,
Saheeh International
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Shakir
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Saheeh International
As for he who gives and fears Allah
Shakir
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
Saheeh International
And believes in the best [reward],
Shakir
And accepts the best,
Saheeh International
We will ease him toward ease.
Shakir
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
Saheeh International
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
Shakir
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
Saheeh International
And denies the best [reward],
Shakir
And rejects the best,
Saheeh International
We will ease him toward difficulty.
Shakir
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
Saheeh International
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
Shakir
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
Saheeh International
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Shakir
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Saheeh International
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
Shakir
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
Saheeh International
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
Shakir
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Saheeh International
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
Shakir
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
Saheeh International
Who had denied and turned away.
Shakir
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Saheeh International
But the righteous one will avoid it -
Shakir
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Saheeh International
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
Shakir
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
Saheeh International
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
Shakir
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
Saheeh International
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
Shakir
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
Saheeh International
And he is going to be satisfied.
Shakir
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
