By the night when it covers up
And by the day when it shines forth
And by the creation of the male and the female
Surely, your strivings are diverse
Then as for him who gives for the cause of ALLAH and is righteous
And testifies to the truth of what is right
WE will provide for him every facility for good
But as for him who is niggardly and is disdainfully indifferent
And rejects what is right
WE will make easy for him the path to distress
And his wealth shall not avail him when he perishes
Surely, it is for US to guide
And to US belongs the Hereafter as well as the present world
So I warn you of a blazing Fire
None shall enter it but the most wicked one
Who rejects the truth and turns his back on it
But the righteous one shall be kept away from it
Who gives his wealth that he may be purified
And not because he owes a favour to anyone, which is to be repaid
But solely to seek the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High
Surely, will HE be well-pleased with him
