- By the night enshrouding
- And the day resplendent
- And Him Who hath created male and female,
- Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
- As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
- And believeth in goodness;
- Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
- But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
- And disbelieveth in goodness;
- Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
- His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
- Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
- And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
- Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
- Which only the most wretched must endure,
- He who denieth and turneth away.
- Far removed from it will be the righteous
- Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
- And none hath with him any favour for reward,
- Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most
High.
- He verily will be content.
