By the night when it covers[1937]

And [by] the day when it appears

And [by] He who created the male and female,

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

As for he who gives and fears Allāh

And believes in the best [reward].

We will ease him toward ease.

But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

And denies the best [reward],

We will ease him toward difficulty.

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?[1938]

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

And indeed, to us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one

Who had denied and turned away.

But the righteous one will avoid it –

[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded[1939] –

But only seeking the face [i.e., acceptance] of his Lord, Most High.

And he is going to be satisfied.
