1 Have We not caused thy bosom
to dilate,
2 And eased thee of the burden
3 Which weighed down thy back;
4 And exalted thy fame ?
5 But lo! with hardship goeth
ease,
6 Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
7 So when thou art relieved,
still toil
8 And strive to please thy Lord.
1 By the morning hours
2 And by the night when it is
stillest,
3 Thy Lord hath not forsaken
thee nor doth He hate thee,
4 And verily the latter portion
will be better for thee than the former,
5 And verily thy Lord will give
unto thee so that thou wilt be content.
6 Did He not find thee an orphan
and protect (thee) ?
7 Did He not find thee wandering
and direct (thee) ?
8 Did He not find thee destitute
and enrich (thee) ?
9 Therefor the orphan oppress
not,
10 Therefor the beggar drive
not away,
11 Therefor of the bounty of
thy Lord be thy discourse.
1 By the night enshrouding
2 And the day resplendent
3 And Him Who hath created male
and female,
4 Lo! your effort is dispersed
(toward divers ends).
5 As for him who giveth and
is dutiful (toward Allah)
6 And believeth in goodness;
7 Surely We will ease his way
unto the state of ease.
8 But as for him who hoardeth
and deemeth himself independent,
9 And disbelieveth in goodness;
10 Surely We will ease his way
unto adversity.
11 His riches will not save
him when he perisheth.
12 Lo! Ours it is (to give)
the guidance
13 And lo! unto Us belong the
latter portion and the former.
14 Therefor have I warned you
of the flaming Fire
15 Which only the most wretched
must endure,
16 He who denieth and turneth
away.
17 Far removed from it will
be the righteous
18 Who giveth his wealth that
he may grow (in goodness).
19 And none hath with him any
favour for reward,
20 Except as seeking (to fulfil)
the purpose of his Lord Most High.
21 He verily will be content.
1 By the sun and his brightness,
2 And the moon when she followeth
him,
3 And the day when it revealeth
him,
4 And the night when it enshroudeth
him,
5 And the heaven and Him Who
built it,
6 And the earth and Him Who
spread it,
7 And a soul and Him Who perfected
it
8 And inspired it (with conscience
of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.
9 He is indeed successful who
causeth it to grow,
10 And he is indeed a failure
who stunteth it.
11 (The tribe of) Thamud denied
(the truth) in their rebellious pride,
12 When the basest of them broke
forth
13 And the messenger of Allah
said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink!
14 But they denied him, and
they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).
15 He dreadeth not the sequel
(of events).
