In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
(1) By the night when it's dark.
(2) And by the day when it's bright.
(3) And by the One Who created the male and the female.
(4) Surely, your endeavors vary greatly.
(5) He who gives for God's sake and fear Him,
(6) Believing in the finest reward,
(7) We'll make it easy for him to find the Way of Ease.
(8) But whoever is stingy and doesn't care about God,
(9) Disbelieving in the finest reward,
(10) We’ll guide him towards the way of hardship.
(11) His money won't save him when he tumbles into the Fire.
(12) It is up to Us to guide you.
(13) This life and the next are in Our control.
(14) I'm warning you about a blazing Fire that awaits.
(15) Only the wicked will burn in it.
(16) Those who deny and turn away.
(17) The good and righteous will be saved.
(18) He who donates his money to purify his heart.
(19) And doesn’t expect anything in return,
(20) Except to please God,
(21) And he will indeed be pleased.
