92.The Night

  1. By the enshrouding night
  2. by the radiant day
  3. by His creation of male and female
  4. The ways you take differ greatly
  5. There is the one who gives, who is mindful of God
  6. who testifies to goodness––
  7. We shall smooth his way towards ease
  8. There is the one who is miserly, who is self-satisfied
  9. who denies goodness––
  10. We shall smooth his way towards hardship
  11. and his wealth will not help him as he falls
  12. Our part is to provide guidance––
  13. this world and the next belong to Us––
  14. so I warn you about the raging Fire
  15. in which none but the most wicked one will burn
  16. who denied [the truth], and turned away
  17. The most pious one will be spared this––
  18. who gives his wealth away as self-purification
  19. not to return a favour to anyone
  20. but for the sake of his Lord the Most High––
  21. and he will be well pleased
