# Translation Ayah
1 By the night when it enshrouds, وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى
2 and by the day when it breaks in its glory, وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى
3 and by Him Who created the male and the female: وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَى
4 surely your strivings are divergent. إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّى
5 As for him who gave out his wealth (for Allah's sake) and abstained (from disobeying Him), فَأَمَّا مَن أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى
6 and affirmed the Truth of goodness: وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى
7 We shall facilitate for him the Way to Bliss. فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى
8 As for him who was a miser and behaved with aversion (to Allah), وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى
9 and denied the Truth of goodness: وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى
10 We shall facilitate for him the way to Hardship, فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى
11 and his wealth shall be of no avail to him when he perishes. وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّى
12 Surely it is for Us to show the Right Way, إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَى
13 and to Us belong the Next Life and the present. وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَى
14 I have now warned you of a Blazing Fire, فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّى
15 where none shall burn except the most wicked, لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
16 who rejected the Truth, calling it falsehood and turned his back on it. الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى
17 But the God-fearing shall be kept away from it, وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
18 the Godfearing who spends his wealth to purify himself; الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّى
19 not as payment for any favours that he received, وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَى
20 but only to seek the good pleasure of his Lord Most High. إِلَّا ابْتِغَاء وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَى
21 He will surely be well-pleased (with him). وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَى
