| Surah 92. Al-Lail | |||
| 1 | By the night enshrouding | ||
| 2 | And the day resplendent | ||
| 3 | And Him Who hath created male and female, | ||
| 4 | Lo! your effort is dispersed ( toward divers ends ). | ||
| 5 | As for him who giveth and is dutiful ( toward Allah ) | ||
| 6 | And believeth in goodness; | ||
| 7 | Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease. | ||
| 8 | But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent, | ||
| 9 | And disbelieveth in goodness; | ||
| 10 | Surely We will ease his way unto adversity. | ||
| 11 | His riches will not save him when he perisheth. | ||
| 12 | Lo! Ours it is ( to give ) the guidance | ||
| 13 | And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former. | ||
| 14 | Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire | ||
| 15 | Which only the most wretched must endure, | ||
| 16 | He who denieth and turneth away. | ||
| 17 | Far removed from it will be the righteous | ||
| 18 | Who giveth his wealth that he may grow ( in goodness ), | ||
| 19 | And none hath with him any favour for reward, | ||
| 20 | Except as seeking ( to fulfil ) the purpose of his Lord Most High. | ||
| 21 | He verily will be content. | ||
