Diverging Efforts
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. By the night when it envelops! By the day when it shines forth! By what created the male and the female! Your efforts are surely diverse.
بسم ٱلله ٱلرحمن ٱلرحيم وٱليل إذا يغشى وٱلنهار إذا تجلى وما خلق ٱلذكر وٱلأنثى إن سعيكم لشتىAs for the one who gives, and guards himself, and affirms the best — We will ease him toward ease.
فأما من أعطى وٱتقى وصدق بٱلحسنى فسنيسره لليسرىBut as for the one who withholds, and considers himself self-sufficient, and denies the best - We will ease him toward hardship.
وأما من بخل وٱستغنى وكذب بٱلحسنى فسنيسره للعسرىAnd his goods will not avail him when he falls.
وما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردىIndeed, upon Us is the guidance, and indeed to Us belong the last and the first.
إن علينا للهدى وإن لنا للءاخرة وٱلأولىSo I have warned you of a blazing fire, in which none will burn except the most wretched, who denied and turned away.
فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى لا يصلىهآ إلا ٱلأشقى ٱلذي كذب وتولىAnd it will be kept away from the most guarded, who gives his goods to purify himself,
وسيجنبها ٱلأتقى ٱلذي يؤتي ماله يتزكىand who seeks not, in any blessing he grants, except the direction of his Guardian, the Most High.
وما لأحد عنده من نعمة تجزى إلا ٱبتغآء وجه ربه ٱلأعلىAnd he will surely soon be satisfied.
ولسوف يرضى
