| 1. * | By the night as it envelops; |
| 2. * | And by the day as it appears in brightness; |
| 3. * | And by Him Who created male and female; |
| 4. * | Certainly, your efforts and deeds are diverse (different in aims and purposes); |
| 5. * | As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him, |
| 6. * | And believes in Al-Husna. |
| 7. * | We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness). |
| 8. * | But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient . |
| 9. * | And gives the lie to Al-Husna (see Verse No: 6 footnote); |
| 10. * | We will make smooth for him the path for evil; |
| 11. * | And what will his wealth benefit him when he goes down (in destruction). |
| 12. * | Truly! Ours it is (to give) guidance, |
| 13. * | And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world). |
| 14. * | Therefore I have warned you of a Fire blazing fiercely (Hell); |
| 15. * | None shall enter it save the most wretched, |
| 16. * | Who denies and turns away. |
| 17. * | And Al-Muttaqoon (the pious and righteous - see V.2:2) will be far removed from it (Hell). |
| 18. * | He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification, |
| 19. * | And have in his mind no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return, |
| 20. * | Except only the desire to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High; |
| 21. * | He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise). |
