Chapter 92, 21 verses
By the night when it covers
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
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 glory;
And the day when it shines in brightness,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And [by] He who created the male and female,
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
And the creating of the male and the female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
As for he who gives and fears Allah
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And believes in the best [reward],
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
And accepts the best,
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will ease him toward ease.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
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 a 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 gives the lie to the best, -
And rejects the best,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will ease him toward difficulty.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
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 do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
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 reach it but those most unfortunate ones
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who had denied and turned away.
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
But the righteous one will avoid it -
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
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
Those who spend their 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 have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
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.
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord 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.
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
