By the night as it enshrouds
by the day as it discloses
by Him Who created the male and the female
truly your endeavors are diverse
As for one who gives and is reverent
and attests to what is most beautiful
We shall ease his way unto ease
And as for one who is miserly and deems himself beyond need
and denies what is most beautiful
We shall ease his way unto hardship
and his wealth shall not avail him when he perishes
Truly Ours it is to give guidance
and truly unto Us belong the Hereafter and this world
Thus have I warned you of a raging Fire
which none shall enter, save the most wretched
who denies and turns away
And the most reverent shall be removed from it
who gives his wealth to purify
not recompensing any for a favor thereby
save for seeking the Face of his Lord, the Most High
and surely he shall be content
