By the night as it veils
And by the day as it unveils
And by the Power that created the male and the female
Indeed, your [mankind's] work is in divergent fields of activity
And, he who gave [things in Allah's Path] and feared Him
And stood firmly by what was good and right
For him shall We make things easy
And he who was miserly [in giving things in Allah's Path], and considered that he needed no divine help
And belied what was good and right
For him shall We make things difficult
And his wealth shall avail him not when he drops dead
It is certainly indeed for Us to give the guidance
And, certainly indeed, the Dominion over both the Hereafter and the present world is Ours
I then warn you of the flaming Fir
None shall burn in it [the Fire] but the wicked person
He who belies the Truth and turns away [from it]
And, he will be distanced from it [Fire] who fears Allah
He who spends his wealth [on others] to keep himself pure
— And he has none with him to be recompensed of favours received —
And he spends for nothing but to seek the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High
And such persons, certainly, shall in time be well-pleased
