| 1. * | By the night, when it covers with darkness;[1] |
| 2. * | and by the day, when it spreads its brightness.[2] |
| 3. * | By Him who created the male and the female,[3] |
| 4. * | surely your efforts are directed towards various ends.[4] |
| 5. * | So for him who gives in charity, fears Allah[5] |
| 6. * | and testifies to goodness,[6] |
| 7. * | We shall facilitate for him the easy way.[7] |
| 8. * | As for him who is a stingy and considers himself independent of Allah[8] |
| 9. * | and rejects the goodness,[9] |
| 10. * | We shall facilitate for him the hard way.[10] |
| 11. * | Just think! What benefit will he get from his wealth, if he himself is doomed.[11] |
| 12. * | Surely it is for Us to give guidance,[12] |
| 13. * | and surely to Us belong the end and the beginning.[13] |
| 14. * | Therefore, I warn you of the blazing fire,[14] |
| 15. * | in which none shall burn except the wretched[15] |
| 16. * | who deny the truth and give no heed.[16] |
| 17. * | But the pious shall be kept away from it,[17] |
| 18. * | the one who spends in charity for self-purification,[18] |
| 19. * | not seeking any favor from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,[19] |
| 20. * | except seeking the good pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.[20] |
| 21. * | Such persons shall soon be well-pleased with Allah.[21] |
