بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
92:2
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ٢
and by the day when it appears,
92:3
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ ٣
and by His creation of male and female,
92:4
إِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ ٤
surely your efforts are divergent.
92:5
فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ ٥
As for the one who gives in charity and fears Allah,
92:6
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ٦
and truly believes in the best reward,
92:7
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ ٧
We will make easy for him the way of salvation.
92:8
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ ٨
But as for the one who is miserly and deems himself self-sufficient,
92:9
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ٩
and denies the best reward,
92:10
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ ١٠
We will make easy for him the way of perdition.
92:11
وَمَا يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ ١١
His wealth will be of no avail to him when he tumbles [into Hell].
92:12
إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ ١٢
Indeed, it is upon Us to show the right way,
92:13
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ ١٣
and surely to Us belong the Hereafter and the present life.
92:14
فَأَنذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارٗا تَلَظَّىٰ ١٤
So I warn you of a raging Fire,
92:15
لَا يَصۡلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى ١٥
none will enter it except the most wretched,
92:16
ٱلَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ١٦
who denied and turned away.
92:17
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَتۡقَى ١٧
But the most righteous will be saved from it,
92:18
ٱلَّذِي يُؤۡتِي مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ١٨
who spends his wealth to purify himself,
92:19
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعۡمَةٖ تُجۡزَىٰٓ ١٩
not in return for someone’s favors[2],
Tafsir Notes
[2] i.e., not as a repayment for a favor he received.
92:20
إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَآءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ ٢٠
but to seek the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
92:21
وَلَسَوۡفَ يَرۡضَىٰ ٢١
He will surely be well pleased.
