1By the enshrouding night

2by the radiant day

3by His creation of male and female

4The ways you take differ greatly

5There is the one who gives, who is mindful of God

6who testifies to goodness––

7We shall smooth his way towards ease

8There is the one who is miserly, who is self-satisfied

9who denies goodness––

10We shall smooth his way towards hardship

11and his wealth will not help him as he falls

12Our part is to provide guidance––

13this world and the next belong to Us––

14so I warn you about the raging Fire

15in which none but the most wicked one will burn

16who denied [the truth], and turned away

17The most pious one will be spared this––

18who gives his wealth away as self-purification

19not to return a favour to anyone

20but for the sake of his Lord the Most High––

21and he will be well pleased
