92. Al-Lail سُورَةُ اللَّيۡلِ

Yusuf AliBy the Night as it conceals (the light)

Saheeh InternationalBy the night when it covers

Yusuf AliBy the Day as it appears in glory

Saheeh InternationalAnd [by] the day when it appears

Yusuf AliBy (the mystery of) the creation of male and female

Saheeh InternationalAnd [by] He who created the male and female

Yusuf AliVerily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse

Saheeh InternationalIndeed, your efforts are diverse

Yusuf AliSo he who gives (in charity) and fears (God)

Saheeh InternationalAs for he who gives and fears Allah

Yusuf AliAnd (in all sincerity) testifies to the best

Saheeh InternationalAnd believes in the best [reward]

Yusuf AliWe will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss

Saheeh InternationalWe will ease him toward ease

Yusuf AliBut he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient

Saheeh InternationalBut as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

Yusuf AliAnd gives the lie to the best

Saheeh InternationalAnd denies the best [reward]

Yusuf AliWe will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery

Saheeh InternationalWe will ease him toward difficulty

Yusuf AliNor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit)

Saheeh InternationalAnd what will his wealth avail him when he falls

Yusuf AliVerily We take upon Ourselves to guide

Saheeh InternationalIndeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance

Yusuf AliAnd verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning

Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life]

Yusuf AliTherefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely

Saheeh InternationalSo I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing

Yusuf AliNone shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones

Saheeh InternationalNone will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one

Yusuf AliWho give the lie to Truth and turn their backs

Saheeh InternationalWho had denied and turned away

Yusuf AliBut those most devoted to God shall be removed far from it

Saheeh InternationalBut the righteous one will avoid it

Yusuf AliThose who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification

Saheeh International[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

Yusuf AliAnd have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return

Saheeh InternationalAnd not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded

Yusuf AliBut only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High

Saheeh InternationalBut only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High

Yusuf AliAnd soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction

Saheeh InternationalAnd he is going to be satisfied
