1. |
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
|
|
2. |
And the day when it shines in brightness,
|
|
3. |
And the creating of the male and the female,
|
|
4. |
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
|
|
5. |
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
|
|
6. |
And accepts the best,
|
|
7. |
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
|
|
8. |
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah)
|
|
9. |
And rejects the best,
|
|
10. |
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
|
|
11. |
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
|
|
12. |
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
|
|
13. |
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
|
|
14. |
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
|
|
15. |
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
|
|
16. |
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
|
|
17. |
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
|
|
18. |
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
|
|
19. |
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
|
|
20. |
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
|
|
21. |
And he shall soon be well-pleased.
