In the Name of Allah—the Most Beneficent, Most Merciful.
1.
By the night when it covers,
2.
and the day when it shines!
3.
And by ˹the One˺ Who created male and female!
4.
Surely the ends you strive for are diverse.
5.
As for the one who is charitable, mindful ˹of Allah˺,
6.
and ˹firmly˺ believes in the finest reward,
7.
We will facilitate for them the Way of Ease.
8.
And as for the one who is stingy, indifferent ˹to Allah˺,
9.
and ˹staunchly˺ denies the finest reward,
10.
We will facilitate for them the path of hardship.
11.
And their wealth will be of no benefit to them when they tumble ˹into Hell˺.
12.
It is certainly upon Us ˹alone˺ to show ˹the way to˺ guidance.
13.
And surely to Us ˹alone˺ belong this life and the next.
14.
And so I have warned you of a raging Fire,
15.
in which none will burn except the most wretched—
16.
who deny and turn away.
17.
But the righteous will be spared from it—
18.
who donate ˹some of˺ their wealth only to purify themselves,
19.
not in return for someone’s favours,
20.
but seeking the pleasure of their Lord, the Most High.
21.
They will certainly be pleased.
