Chapter 92, 21 verses
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
Waallayli itha yaghsha
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
By the Day as it appears in glory;
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
And the day resplendent
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
And Him Who hath created male and female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
And believeth in goodness;
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And gives the lie to the best, -
Wakaththaba bialhusna
And disbelieveth in goodness;
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
La yaslaha illa alashqa
Which only the most wretched must endure,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
He who denieth and turneth away.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
Far removed from it will be the righteous
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
Walasawfa yarda
He verily will be content.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
