92. Night

THESE 21 EARLY Meccan verses were revealed after Glory to your Lord in the Highest! 87 and before Daybreak 89. It is a poetic chapter which is often recited in public ceremonies, because its recital brings merit.

In the name of God, the Mercy-giving, the Merciful!

* By night as it broods,
* and daylight when things seem radiant,
* and whatever has created
the male and the female,
* your effort has been too diffuse.

** For anyone who gives (generously], performs his duty
* and acts charitably in the finest manner
* We shall facilitate an easy way for him;
* while anyone who acts miserably,
and feels he is self-sufficient
and rejects the finest [things in life]
** We shall make it easy for him
(to go] the hard way. * His money
will not help him out as he stumbles along.

* Guidance is Our concern:
* to Us belongs the Hereafter
and the very First [of life];
* so I have warned you (all)
about a raging fire.

** Only the most wretched will roast in it,
* the one who rejects [the Message]
and turns away; * while the most heedful
will keep away from it,
* the one who gives his money away
and (thereby) purifies himself

* No one is awarded any favor by Him
** except through seeking the countenance
of his Lord, the All-Highest.
[Such a man] shall meet approval.
