I call to witness the night when it spreads (its) veil
And the day when it becomes bright
And all the males and the females that He created
(That) diverse are the ends you strive to achieve
Then as for the person who devotes (all his resources and capacities in the cause of God), gives (to others) and guards against evil
And declares his faith in all that is best and right
We will, then, invariably provide for him every facility (for doing good)
But as for him who is niggardly (and cripples his capacities) and is (disdainfully) indifferent (to God and the Hereafter)
And belies all that is best
We will, then, of course make easy for him (the downhill path to) a state of distress
And his wealth shall not avail him when he dies
It is for Us to provide guidance
And to Us belong (all the blessings of) both, the next world and the present
(Mankind!) now I have warned you of a flaming Fire
None shall enter it but the wretched (sinner)
Who belies (the Truth) and turns (his) back (on it)
But the one who guards against evil and keeps his duty (to God and others), shall most carefully be kept away from it (- the Fire)
A person who spends his wealth (seeking) to purify himself
And not because he is under an obligation to anyone which (- obligation) has to be repaid
But (he spends) only to seek the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High
Surely, He will be well-pleased (with such a one)
