English - Chapter 92 - Al-Layl

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

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 favour 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
