— 21 verses
By the night as it veils [the earth] in darkness
and by the day as it appears radiantly
and by the creation of the male and the female
O men, you truly strive towards the most diverse ends
As for one who gives [to others] and fears [God]
and believes in the truth of what is right
We will pave his way to ease
But as for one who is miserly and unheeding
and rejects what is right
We shall pave his way to hardship
nor will his wealth profit him when he falls [into the pit]
Surely, it is for Us to provide guidanc
and to Us belongs the Hereafter as well as the present world
I have warned you then about a raging Fire
none shall enter it but the most wicked
who denied [the truth], and turned away
One who fears God shall be kept away from i
one who gives his wealth to become purified
and owes no favour to anyone, which is to be repaid
acting only for the sake of his Lord the Most High
and before long he will be well satisfied
