وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰ ١

By the night when it covers¹

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ٢

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ ٣

And [by] He who created the male and female,

إِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ ٤

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

92:5Page 595

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ ٥

As for he who gives and fears Allāh

92:6–7Page 595

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ٦

And believes in the best [reward].

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ ٧

We will ease him toward ease.

92:8Page 595

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ ٨

But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

92:9Page 595

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ٩

And denies the best [reward],

92:10Page 595

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ ١٠

We will ease him toward difficulty.

92:11Page 595

وَمَا يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ ١١

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?¹

92:12–13Page 595

إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ ١٢

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ ١٣

And indeed, to us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

92:14Page 595

فَأَنذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارٗا تَلَظَّىٰ ١٤

So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

92:15–16Page 596

لَا يَصۡلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى ١٥

None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one

ٱلَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ١٦

Who had denied and turned away.

92:17–21Page 596

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَتۡقَى ١٧

But the righteous one will avoid it –

ٱلَّذِي يُؤۡتِي مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ١٨

[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعۡمَةٖ تُجۡزَىٰٓ ١٩

And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded¹ –

إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَآءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ ٢٠

But only seeking the face [i.e., acceptance] of his Lord, Most High.

وَلَسَوۡفَ يَرۡضَىٰ ٢١

And he is going to be satisfied.
