Yusuf Ali
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
Yusuf Ali
By the Day as it appears in glory;
Yusuf Ali
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-
Yusuf Ali
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
Yusuf Ali
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
Yusuf Ali
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,-
Yusuf Ali
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
Yusuf Ali
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,
Yusuf Ali
And gives the lie to the best,-
Yusuf Ali
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
Yusuf Ali
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
Yusuf Ali
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
Yusuf Ali
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
Yusuf Ali
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
Yusuf Ali
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
Yusuf Ali
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
Yusuf Ali
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,-
Yusuf Ali
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,
Yusuf Ali
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
Yusuf Ali
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
