Chapter 92, 21 verses
By the night when it covers
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى
Waallayli itha yaghsha
And [by] the day when it appears
By the Day as it appears in glory;
والنهار إذا تجلى
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
And [by] He who created the male and female,
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
وما خلق الذكر والأنثى
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
إن سعيكم لشتى
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
As for he who gives and fears Allah
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
فأما من أعطى واتقى
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
And believes in the best [reward],
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
وصدق بالحسنى
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
We will ease him toward ease.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
فسنيسره لليسرى
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
وأما من بخل واستغنى
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
And denies the best [reward],
And gives the lie to the best, -
وكذب بالحسنى
Wakaththaba bialhusna
We will ease him toward difficulty.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
فسنيسره للعسرى
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
وما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردى
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
إن علينا للهدى
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
وإن لنا للآخرة والأولى
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
لا يصلاها إلا الأشقى
La yaslaha illa alashqa
Who had denied and turned away.
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
الذي كذب وتولى
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
But the righteous one will avoid it -
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
وسيجنبها الأتقى
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
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,
وما لأحد عنده من نعمة تجزى
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
إلا ابتغاء وجه ربه الأعلى
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
And he is going to be satisfied.
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
ولسوف يرضى
