1By the Night as it conceals (the light); 2By the Day as it appears in glory; 3By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;- 4Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse. 5So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah), 6And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,- 7We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. 8But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient, 9And gives the lie to the best,- 10We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery; 11Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit). 12Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide, 13And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning. 14Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely; 15None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones 16Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs. 17But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,- 18Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification, 19And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return, 20But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High; 21And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
