By the enshrouding night,
by the radiant day,
And by ˹the One˺ Who created male and female!
Surely the ends you strive for are diverse.
As for the one who is charitable, mindful ˹of God˺,
and ˹firmly˺ believes in the finest reward,
We will facilitate for them the Way of Ease.
There is the one who is miserly, who is self-satisfied,
and ˹staunchly˺ denies the finest reward,
We will facilitate for them the path of hardship.
And their wealth will be of no benefit to them when they tumble ˹into Hell˺.
It is certainly upon Us ˹alone˺ to show ˹the way to˺ guidance.
And surely to Us ˹alone˺ belong this life and the next.
so I warn you about the raging Fire,
in which none but the most wicked one will burn,
who denied [the truth], and turned away.
But the righteous will be spared from it—
who donate ˹some of˺ their wealth only to purify themselves,
not in return for someone's favours,
but for the sake of his Lord the Most High––
and he will certainly be pleased.
