# Translation Ayah
1 By the night as it envelops; وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى
2 And by the day as it appears in brightness; وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى
3 And by Him Who created male and female; وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَى
4 Certainly, your efforts and deeds are diverse (different in aims and purposes); إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّى
5 As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him, فَأَمَّا مَن أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى
6 And believes in Al-Husna. وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى
7 We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness). فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى
8 But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient. وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى
9 And gives the lie to Al-Husna (see Verse No: 6 footnote); وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى
10 We will make smooth for him the path for evil; فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى
11 And what will his wealth benefit him when he goes down (in destruction). وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّى
12 Truly! Ours it is (to give) guidance, إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَى
13 And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world). وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَى
14 Therefore I have warned you of a Fire blazing fiercely (Hell); فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّى
15 None shall enter it save the most wretched, لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
16 Who denies and turns away. الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى
17 And Al-Muttaqun (the pious and righteous - see V. 2:2) will be far removed from it (Hell). وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
18 He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification, الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّى
19 And have in his mind no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return, وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَى
20 Except only the desire to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High; إِلَّا ابْتِغَاء وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَى
21 He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise). وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَى
