بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ١ وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ٢ وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ٣ إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ٤ فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ٥ وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ٦ فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ٧ وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ٨ وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ٩ فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ١٠ وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ١١ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ١٢ وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ١٣ فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًۭا تَلَظَّىٰ١٤ لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى١٥ ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ١٦ وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى١٧ ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ١٨ وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍۢ تُجْزَىٰٓ١٩ إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ٢٠ وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ٢١

  1. 92:1

    By the night when it envelops,

  2. 92:2

    by the day when it brightens,

  3. 92:3

    by Him who created the male and the female:

  4. 92:4

    your endeavours are indeed diverse.

  5. 92:5

    As for him who gives and is Godwary

  6. 92:6

    and confirms the best promise,

  7. 92:7

    We will surely ease him toward facility.

  8. 92:8

    But as for him, who is stingy and self-complacent,

  9. 92:9

    and denies the best promise,

  10. 92:10

    We will surely ease him toward hardship.

  11. 92:11

    His wealth will not avail him when he perishes.

  12. 92:12

    Indeed guidance rests with Us,

  13. 92:13

    and to Us belong the world and the Hereafter.

  14. 92:14

    So I warn you of a blazing fire,

  15. 92:15

    which none shall enter except the most wretched [of persons]

  16. 92:16

    —he who impugns [God’s prophets] and turns his back.

  17. 92:17

    The Godwary [person] will be spared of that

  18. 92:18

    —he who gives his wealth to purify himself

  19. 92:19

    and does not expect any reward from anyone,

  20. 92:20

    but seek only the pleasure of their Lord, the Most Exalted,

  21. 92:21

    and, surely, soon they will be well-pleased.
