In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
I swear by the night when it draws a veil, | |
And the day when it shines in brightness, | |
And the creating of the male and the female, | |
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends). | |
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil), | |
And accepts the best, | |
We will facilitate for him the easy end. | |
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah), | |
And rejects the best, | |
We will facilitate for him the difficult end. | |
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes. | |
Surely Ours is it to show the way, | |
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former. | |
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames: | |
None shall enter it but the most unhappy, | |
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back. | |
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil), | |
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself | |
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded, | |
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High. | |
