Sura 92

The Night

In the name of God the Compassionate the Caring

By the night when it falls
By the day when it breaks
By what has made the male and the female
You strive towards different ends.

As for him who shares what he has and is mindful
who affirms the right-
him will we ease to the good life

As for him who hoards what he has
Thinking it makes him secure
who denies the right-
him we will ease to hardship
Wealth will not save him from ruin

Ours is the guidance
Ours is the after and ours the before

I warn you of a fire that sears
One hard in wrong will burn there
a denier one who turns away
We will spare from it
whoever keeps the faith
Who shares what he owns,making it pure
Who looks to no one to return the favor
Seeking only the face of his Lord most high
That one will know peace of mind
