92 The Night


92:1    By the Night as it conceals (the light);

92:2    By the Day as it appears in glory;

92:3    By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-

92:4    Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.

92:5    So he who gives (in charity) and fears (God),

92:6    And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,-

92:7    We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.

92:8    But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,

92:9    And gives the lie to the best,-

92:10    We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;

92:11    Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).

92:12    Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,

92:13    And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.

92:14    Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;

Only the most wretched will endure the flaming Fire—like those who deny Allah’‘s revelations.
The Fire

92:15    None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones

92:16    Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.

92:17    But those most devoted to God shall be removed far from it,-

92:18    Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,

92:19    And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,

92:20    But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;

92:21    And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
