I swear by the night when it draws a veil
And the day when it shines in brightness
And the creating of the male and the female
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends)
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil)
And accepts the best
We will facilitate for him the easy end
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah)
And rejects the best
We will facilitate for him the difficult end
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes
Surely Ours is it to show the way
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames
None shall enter it but the most unhappy
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil)
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High
And he shall soon be well-pleased
