The Night

The Koran














092.001
By the night enshrouding

092.002
And the day resplendent

092.003
And Him Who hath created male and female,

092.004
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).

092.005
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)

092.006
And believeth in goodness;

092.007
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.

092.008
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,

092.009
And disbelieveth in goodness;

092.010
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.

092.011
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.

092.012
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance

092.013
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.

092.014
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire

092.015
Which only the most wretched must endure,

092.016
He who denieth and turneth away.

092.017
Far removed from it will be the righteous

092.018
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).

092.019
And none hath with him any favour for reward,

092.020
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.

092.021
He verily will be content.
