وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

And the day as it rises bright

Waalnnahari itha tajalla

وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ

And that (All-Magnificent One) Who has created the male and the female

Wama khalaqa alththakara waal-ontha

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ

Surely your endeavor is diverse (in character and ends)

Inna saAAyakum lashatta

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ

Then, as for him who gives (out of his wealth for God’s good pleasure), and keeps from disobedience to Him in reverence for Him and piety

وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ

And affirms the best (in creed, action, and the reward to be given)

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

We will make easy for him the path to the state of ease (salvation after an easy reckoning)

Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra

وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ

But as for him who is niggardly and regards himself as self-sufficient in independence of Him

Waamma man bakhila waistaghna

وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ

And denies the best (in creed, action, and the reward to be given)

Wakaththaba bialhusna

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ

We will make easy for him the path to hardship (punishment after a hard reckoning)

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ

It is surely for Us to bestow guidance

Inna AAalayna lalhuda

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ

And to Us belong the Hereafter as well as the former (life)

Wa-inna lana lal-akhirata waal-oola

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ

And so I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely

Faanthartukum naran talaththa

لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى

None will enter it to roast but the most wicked

La yaslaha illa al-ashqa

الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

Who denies (My Message) and turns away

Allathee kaththaba watawalla

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى

And far removed from it (the Fire) will be he who keeps farthest away from disobedience to God in greater reverence for Him and piety

Wasayujannabuha al-atqa

الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

Who spends his wealth (in God’s cause and for the needy), so that he may grow in purity

Allathee yu/tee malahu yatazakka

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ

Without anyone who has favored him so that he should spend in return for it, or expecting any reward in return for what he spends

Wama li-ahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza

إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ

(Rather, he spends) only in longing for the good pleasure of his Lord, the Most High

Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi al-aAAla

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ

He will certainly be contented (he with his Lord and his Lord with him)
