92 - The Night |
|
|
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. |
|
|
1 | I swear by the night when it draws a veil, |
|
2 | And the day when it shines in brightness, |
|
3 | And the creating of the male and the female, |
|
4 | Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends). |
|
5 | Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil), |
|
6 | And accepts the best, |
|
7 | We will facilitate for him the easy end. |
|
8 | And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah) |
|
9 | And rejects the best, |
|
10 | We will facilitate for him the difficult end. |
|
11 | And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes. |
|
12 | Surely Ours is it to show the way, |
|
13 | And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former. |
|
14 | Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames: |
|
15 | None shall enter it but the most unhappy, |
|
16 | Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back. |
|
17 | And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil), |
|
18 | Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself |
|
19 | And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded, |
|
20 | Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High. |
|
21 | And he shall soon be well-pleased. |
