In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- By the Night as it conceals (the light);
- By the Day as it appears in glory;
- By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female
- Verily (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
- So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah)
- And (in all sincerity) testifies to the Best
- We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
- But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient.
- And gives the lie to the Best
- We will indeed make smooth for him the Path to Misery;
- Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
- Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide.
- And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
- Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
- None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
- Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
- But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it
- Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification
- And have in their minds no favor from anyone for which a reward is expected in return
- But only the desire to seek for the countenance of their Lord Most High.
- And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
