By the night when it veils
And the day when it is displayed
And by (the mystery) of male and female
Verily, your efforts are diverse
But as for him who gives alms and fears Allah
And believes in goodness
We will ease his way to ease
But as for him who is niggardly and thinks himself independent (or self-sufficient)
And calls the good a lie
We will ease his way to misery (adversity)
And his wealth shall not avail him when he falls down (into hell)
Verily, it is for Us to guide
And, verily, Ours are the Latter and the Former life
Therefore, I have warned you of a Fire that flames fiercely
None shall broil thereon, but the most wretched
Who says it is a lie and turns his back
But the pious shall be kept away from it
He who gives his wealth that he may grow
And who gives no favour expecting a return
But only desiring the face of his Lord Most High
In the end he shall be well fulfilled
