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