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;

5. As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him,

6. And believes in goodness.

7. We will make smooth for him the path of ease.

8. But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient.

9. And denies goodness;

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 is this guidance,

13. And truly, unto Us (belong) the last and the first.

14. Therefore I have warned you of a Fire blazing fiercely;

15. None shall enter it except the most wretched,

16. Who denies and turns away.

17. And the pious and righteous - will be far removed from it.

18. They who spends their wealth for increase in self-purification,

19. And expects no returning favour from anyone,

20. Except only the desire to seek the Pleasure of their Lord, the Most High;

21. They surely will be pleased.
