وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰ
By the night when it covers[1937]وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And [by] the day when it appearsوَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ
And [by] He who created the male and female,إِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
As for he who gives and fears Allāhوَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ
And believes in the best [reward].فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ
We will ease him toward ease.وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of needوَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ
And denies the best [reward],فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ
We will ease him toward difficulty.وَمَا يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?[1938]إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ
And indeed, to us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].فَأَنذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارٗا تَلَظَّىٰ
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.لَا يَصۡلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched oneٱلَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Who had denied and turned away.وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَتۡقَى
But the righteous one will avoid it –ٱلَّذِي يُؤۡتِي مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himselfوَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعۡمَةٖ تُجۡزَىٰٓ
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded[1939] –إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَآءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ
But only seeking the face [i.e., acceptance] of his Lord, Most High.وَلَسَوۡفَ يَرۡضَىٰ
And he is going to be satisfied.
