By the night when it envelops
by the day when it brightens
by Him who created the male and the female
your endeavours are indeed unlike
As for him who gives and is Godwary
and confirms the best promise
We shall surely ease him into facility
But as for him who is stingy and self-complacent
and denies the best promise
We shall surely ease him into hardship
His wealth shall not avail him when he perishes
Indeed with Us rests guidance
and indeed to Us belong the world and the Hereafter
So I warn you of a blazing fire
which none shall enter except the most wretche
—he who denies and turns back
The Godwary shall be spared i
—he who gives his wealth to purify himself
and does not expect any reward from anyone
but seeks only the pleasure of his Lord, the Most Exalted
and, surely, soon he will be well-pleased
