Surah 92: Al-Lail سُورَةُ اللَّيۡلِ

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ 1

¹By the night enshrouding

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ 2

²And the day resplendent

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ 3

³And Him Who hath created male and female,

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ 4

⁴Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ 5

⁵As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ 6

⁶And believeth in goodness;

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ 7

⁷Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ 8

⁸But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ 9

⁹And disbelieveth in goodness;

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ 10

¹⁰Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.

وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ 11

¹¹His riches will not save him when he perisheth.

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ 12

¹²Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْـَٔاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ 13

¹³And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ 14

¹⁴Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire

لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى 15

¹⁵Which only the most wretched must endure,

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ 16

¹⁶He who denieth and turneth away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى 17

¹⁷Far removed from it will be the righteous

ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ 18

¹⁸Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ 19

¹⁹And none hath with him any favour for reward,

إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ 20

²⁰Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ 21

²¹He verily will be content.
