Contrasting Paths and Their Consequences
1 By the night when it covers
2 And the day when it shines
3 And He who created the male and female
4 Indeed your efforts are diverse
5 As for he who gives and fears God
6 And believes in the best
7 We will ease him toward ease
8 But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
9 And denies the best
10 We will ease him toward hardship
11 And what will his wealth avail him when he falls
Divine Guidance and Warning
12 Indeed, it is upon Us to guide
13 And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first life
14 So I have warned you of a Fire that blazes
15 None will enter it except the most wretched
16 Who had denied and turned away
Reward for the Righteous
17 But the righteous will be kept away from it
18 The one who gives his wealth to purify himself
19 And no one has with him any favor to be rewarded
20 Except seeking the face of his Lord, the Most High
21 And he will surely be satisfied
