By the night, when it covers with darkness
and by the day, when it spreads its brightness
By Him who created the male and the female
surely your efforts are directed towards various ends
So for him who gives in charity, fears Allah
and testifies to goodness
We shall facilitate for him the easy way
As for him who is a stingy and considers himself independent of Allah
and rejects the goodness
We shall facilitate for him the hard way
Just think! What benefit will he get from his wealth, if he himself is doomed
Surely it is for Us to give guidance
and surely to Us belong the end and the beginning
Therefore, I warn you of the blazing fire
in which none shall burn except the wretche
who deny the truth and give no heed
But the pious shall be kept away from it
the one who spends in charity for self-purification
not seeking any favor from anyone for which a reward is expected in return
except seeking the good pleasure of his Lord, the Most High
Such persons shall soon be well-pleased with Allah
