By the night, when it covereth all things with darkness
by the day, when it shineth forth
by Him who hath created the male, and the female
Verily your endeavour is different
Now whoso is obedient, and feareth God
and professeth the truth of that faith which is most excellent
unto him will We facilitate the way to happiness
But whoso shall be covetous, and shall be wholly taken up with this world
and shall deny the truth of that which is most excellent
unto him will We facilitate the way to misery
and his riches shall not profit him, when he shall fall headlong into hell
Verily unto Us appertaineth the direction of mankind
And ours is the life to come, and the present life
Wherefore I threaten you with fire which burneth fiercely
which none shall enter to be burned except the most wretched
who shall have disbelieved, and turned back
But he who strictly bewareth idolatry and rebellion, shall be removed far from the same
who giveth his substance in alms
and by whom no benefit is bestowed on any, that it may be recompensed
but who bestoweth the same for the sake of his Lord, the most High
And hereafter he shall be well satisfied with his reward
