By the night when it draws a veil
And the day when it shines
And the creating of the male and the female! -
Your striving is surely (for) diverse (ends)
Then as for him who gives and keeps his duty
And accepts what is good -
We facilitate for him (the way to) ease
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself self-sufficient
And rejects what is good -
We facilitate for him (the way to) distress
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes
Surely Ours is it to show the way
And surely Ours is the Hereafter and the former
So I warn you of the Fire that flames
None will enter it but the most unfortunate
Who rejects (the truth) and turns (his) back
And away from it shall be kept the most faithful to duty
Who gives his wealth, purifying himself
And none has with him any boon for a reward
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High
And he will soon be well-pleased
