بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
92:1By the night when it covers
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
92:2And [by] the day when it appears
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
92:3And [by] He who created the male and female,
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
92:4Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
92:5As for he who gives and fears Allah
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
92:6And believes in the best [reward],
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
92:7We will ease him toward ease.
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
92:8But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
92:9And denies the best [reward],
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
92:10We will ease him toward difficulty.
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
92:11And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
92:12Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
92:13And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًۭا تَلَظَّىٰ
92:14So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
92:15None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
92:16Who had denied and turned away.
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
92:17But the righteous one will avoid it -
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
92:18[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍۢ تُجْزَىٰٓ
92:19And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
92:20But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
92:21And he is going to be satisfied.
