Chapter 92, 21 verses
By the night when it covers
Waallayli itha yaghsha
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And [by] the day when it appears
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
And the day when it shines in brightness,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And [by] He who created the male and female,
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
And the creating of the male and the female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
As for he who gives and fears Allah
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And believes in the best [reward],
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
And accepts the best,
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will ease him toward ease.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And denies the best [reward],
Wakaththaba bialhusna
And rejects the best,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will ease him toward difficulty.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
La yaslaha illa alashqa
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who had denied and turned away.
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
But the righteous one will avoid it -
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
And he is going to be satisfied.
Walasawfa yarda
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
