By the night when it covers
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ 2
And [by] the day when it appears
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَىٰ 3
And [by] He who created the male and female,
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ 5
As for he who gives and fears Allah
And believes in the best [reward],
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ 7
We will ease him toward ease.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ 8
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
And denies the best [reward],
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ 10
We will ease him toward difficulty.
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ 11
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ 13
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
فَأَنْذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ 14
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى 15
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ 16
Who had denied and turned away.
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى 17
But the righteous one will avoid it -
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ 18
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ 19
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ 20
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
And he is going to be satisfied.
