By the night when it covers,
2
and the day when it shines!
3
And by ˹the One˺ Who created male and female!
4
Surely the ends you strive for are diverse.
5
As for the one who is charitable, mindful ˹of Allah˺,
6
and ˹firmly˺ believes in the finest reward,
7
We will facilitate for them the Way of Ease.
8
And as for the one who is stingy, indifferent ˹to Allah˺,
9
and ˹staunchly˺ denies the finest reward,
10
We will facilitate for them the path of hardship.
11
And their wealth will be of no benefit to them when they tumble ˹into Hell˺.
12
It is certainly upon Us ˹alone˺ to show ˹the way to˺ guidance.
13
And surely to Us ˹alone˺ belong this life and the next.
14
And so I have warned you of a raging Fire,
15
in which none will burn except the most wretched—
16
who deny and turn away.
17
But the righteous will be spared from it—
18
who donate ˹some of˺ their wealth only to purify themselves,
19
not in return for someone’s favours,
20
but seeking the pleasure of their Lord, the Most High.
21
They will certainly be pleased.
