Mc

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

¹ By the Night as it conceals (the light);

² By the Day as it appears in glory;

³ By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-

⁴ Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.

⁵ So he who gives (in charity) and fears (God),

⁶ And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,-

⁷ We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.

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

⁹ And gives the lie to the best,-

¹⁰ We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;

¹¹ Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).

¹² Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,

¹³ And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.

¹⁴ Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;

¹⁵ None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones

¹⁶ Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.

¹⁷ But those most devoted to God shall be removed far from it,-

¹⁸ Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,

¹⁹ And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,

²⁰ But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;

²¹ And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
