The Night

1

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ

CONSIDER the night as it veils [the earth] in darkness,
2

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

and the day as it rises bright!
3

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ

Consider the creation of the male and the female!
4

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ

Verily, [O men,] you aim at most divergent ends!
5

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ

Thus, as for him who gives [to others] and is conscious of God,
6

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ

and believes in the truth of the ultimate good
7

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

for him shall We make easy the path towards [ultimate] ease.
8

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ

But as for him who is niggardly, and thinks that he is self-sufficient,
9

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ

and calls the ultimate good a lie –
10

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ

for him shall We make easy the path towards hardship:
11

وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ

and what will his wealth avail him when he goes down [to his grave]?
12

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ

BEHOLD, it is indeed for Us to grace [you] with guidance;
13

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ

and, behold, Ours is [the dominion over] the life to come as well as [over] this earlier part [of your life]:
14

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًۭا تَلَظَّىٰ

and so I warn you of the raging fire -
15

لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى

[the fire] which none shall have to endure but that most hapless wretch
16

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

who gives the lie to the truth and turns away [from it].
17

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى

For, distant from it shall remain he who is truly conscious of God:
18

ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

he that spends his possessions [on others] so that he might grow in purity –
19

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍۢ تُجْزَىٰٓ

not as payment for favours received,
20

إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ

but only out of a longing for the countenance of his Sustainer, the All-Highest:
21

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ

and such, indeed, shall in time be well-pleased.
