Surah “The Night”

as rendered by Musharraf Hussain — 21 verses

92:1
By the night as it conceals;
92:2
by the day as it reveals;
92:3
by the male and the female He created!
92:4
Indeed your works are different from each other’s:
92:5
so the one who gives, is mindful of Allah
92:6
and believes in common good,
92:7
We shall make his work easy.
92:8
But for the miserly, who thinks he is self-sufficient
92:9
and denies common good,
92:10
We shall make his work difficult.
92:11
His wealth will not benefit him when he falls into Hell.
92:12
Our role is to provide guidance;
92:13
the Hereafter and the world are Ours.
92:14
I have warned you about a raging Fire;
92:15
where the wicked will go,
92:16
who denied and turned away.
92:17
But the one who was mindful will be kept away from it,
92:18
he gave his wealth in charity to purify himself.
92:19
Not as a payment for favours received,
92:20
but longed for the pleasure of His Lord, the Highest,
92:21
and he will be pleased with the outcome.
