Chapter 92, 21 verses
By the night when it covers
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the night as it envelops.
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And [by] the day when it appears
By the day as it appears in brightness.
And the day when it shines in brightness,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And [by] He who created the male and female,
By Him Who created male and female.
And the creating of the male and the female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Certainly, your efforts and deeds are diverse (different in aims and purposes);
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
As for he who gives and fears Allah
As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him,
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And believes in the best [reward],
And believes in Al-Husna.
And accepts the best,
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will ease him toward ease.
We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness).
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
But he who is 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
And denies the best [reward],
And belies Al-Husna (See the footnote of the Verse No.6)
And rejects the best,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will ease him toward difficulty.
We will make smooth for him the path for evil.
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
And what will his wealth avail him when he goes down (in destruction)?.
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Truly! On Us is (to give) guidance.
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world).
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.
Therefore I have warned you of a blazing Fire (Hell).
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
None shall enter it save the most wretched.
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who had denied and turned away.
Who denies and turns away.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
But the righteous one will avoid it -
And Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2) will be far removed from it (Hell).
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
He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification,
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
And who has (in mind) no favour from anyone to be paid back,
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.
Except to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High.
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
And he is going to be satisfied.
He surely will be pleased (when he enters Paradise).
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
