The Night

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ وَٱلَّیۡلِ إِذَا یَغۡشَىٰ

By the night when it covers

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰۤ

And [by] He who created the male and female,

إِنَّ سَعۡیَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ

As for he who gives and fears Allah

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ

And believes in the best [reward],

فَسَنُیَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡیُسۡرَىٰ

We will ease him toward ease.

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ

But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ

And denies the best [reward],

فَسَنُیَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ

We will ease him toward difficulty.

وَمَا یُغۡنِی عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥۤ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰۤ

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

إِنَّ عَلَیۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡـَٔاخِرَةَ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ

And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

فَأَنذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارࣰا تَلَظَّىٰ

So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

لَا یَصۡلَىٰهَاۤ إِلَّا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى

None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.

ٱلَّذِی كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

Who had denied and turned away.

وَسَیُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَتۡقَى

But the righteous one will avoid it -

ٱلَّذِی یُؤۡتِی مَالَهُۥ یَتَزَكَّىٰ

[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعۡمَةࣲ تُجۡزَىٰۤ

And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded

إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَاۤءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ

But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.

وَلَسَوۡفَ یَرۡضَىٰ

And he is going to be satisfied.
