Asad, Surah 92: The Night (Al-Lail)

Surahs

[1] CONSIDER the night as it veils [the earth] in darkness,

[2] and the day as it rises bright!

[3] Consider the creation of the male and the female!

[4] Verily, [O men,] you aim at most divergent ends!

[5] Thus, as for him who gives [to others] and is conscious of God,

[6] and believes in the truth of the ultimate good

[7] for him shall We make easy the path towards [ultimate] ease.

[8] But as for him who is niggardly, and thinks that he is self-sufficient,

[9] and calls the ultimate good a lie –

[10] for him shall We make easy the path towards hardship:

[11] and what will his wealth avail him when he goes down [to his grave]?

[12] BEHOLD, it is indeed for Us to grace [you] with guidance;

[13] and, behold, Ours is [the dominion over] the life to come as well as [over] this earlier part [of your life]:

[14] and so I warn you of the raging fire -

[15] [the fire] which none shall have to endure but that most hapless wretch

[16] who gives the lie to the truth and turns away [from it].

[17] For, distant from it shall remain he who is truly conscious of God:

[18] he that spends his possessions [on others] so that he might grow in purity –

[19] not as payment for favours received,

[20] but only out of a longing for the countenance of his Sustainer, the All-Highest:

[21] and such, indeed, shall in time be well-pleased.
