Sura 92

Surah 92. The Night

92:1. By the Night as it conceals (the light);
92:2. By the Day as it appears in glory;
92:3. By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-
92:4. Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
92:5. So he who gives (in charity) and fears "I AM",
92:6. And (in all sincerity) testifies to the Best,-
92:7. We will indeed make smooth for him The Way to Bliss.
92:8. But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,
92:9. And gives the lie to the Best,-
92:10. We will indeed make smooth for him The Path to Misery;
92:11. Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit)(Luke 16:19-31).
92:12. Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
92:13. And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning (Rev. 1:8).
92:14. Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
92:15. None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
92:16. Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
92:17. But those most devoted to "I AM" shall be removed far from it,-
92:18. Those who spend their wealth for increase in "self"-purification,
92:19. And have in their minds no favour to anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
92:20. But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
92:21. And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
