I CALL THE night to witness when it covers over,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
Ahmed Ali
And the day when it shines in all its glory,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Ahmed Ali
And Him who created the male and female,
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ

That your endeavour is for different ends.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
Ahmed Ali
Yet he who gives to others and has fear,
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
Ahmed Ali
And affirms goodness,
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

We shall ease the way of fortune for him.
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
Ahmed Ali
But he who does not give and is unconcerned,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
Ahmed Ali
And rejects goodness,
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
Ahmed Ali
For him We shall ease the way of adversity,
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ

And his riches will not avail him when he falls headlong (into the Abyss).
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ

It is indeed for Us to show the way,
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ

So, I warn you of the blazing Fire.
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى

No one will burn in it but the most wretched,
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Ahmed Ali
Who denied (the truth) and turned away.
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Ahmed Ali
But save him who fears
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
Ahmed Ali
And gives of his wealth that he may grow in virtue,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍۢ تُجْزَىٰٓ
Ahmed Ali
And is under no one's obligation to return his favour,
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
Ahmed Ali
Other than seeking the glory of his Lord, most high,
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
Ahmed Ali
Will surely be gratified.
