In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. |
|
1. |
By the night as it envelops; |
2. |
And by the day as it appears in brightness; |
3. |
And by Him Who created male and female; |
4. |
Certainly, your efforts and deeds are diverse (different in aims and purposes); |
5. |
As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allâh and fears Him, |
6. |
And believes in Al-Husna. |
7. |
We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness). |
8. |
But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient. |
9. |
And gives the lie to Al-Husna |
10. |
We will make smooth for him the path for evil; |
11. |
And what will his wealth benefit him when he goes down (in destruction). |
12. |
Truly! Ours it is (to give) guidance, |
13. |
And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world). |
14. |
Therefore I have warned you of a Fire blazing fiercely (Hell); |
15. |
|
16. |
|
17. |
And Al-Muttaqûn (the pious and righteous - see V.2:2) will be far removed from it (Hell). |
18. |
|
19. |
And have in his mind no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return, |
20. |
Except only the desire to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High; |
21. |
He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise). ********* |
