The Night and Morning Light

92. The Night (al-layl)

^1-3 By:

• the night,
• the day, and
• He who created male and female

⁴ Your efforts have been diverse.

^5-7 Those who gives, fears Allah, and believes in the best reward, We will give him ease.

^8-11 But for he who withholds, considers himself free of need, and denies the best reward, We will ease him toward difficulty. What can his wealth avail him when he dies?

¹² Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

13. And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

14. So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

15. None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one

16. Who had denied and turned away.

17. But the righteous one will avoid it –

18. [He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

19. And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded 1809

20. But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.

21. And he is going to be satisfied.

93. MORNING LIGHT (adh-Duha)

¹ By the morning brightness and the dark night, Your Lord has not left you oh Muhammad. Nor has He detested you.

⁴ Tthe Hereafter is better for you than this life. You will be satisfied with it.

⁶ You were an orphan, so He gave you refuge.

You were lost, so He guided you.

You were poor, so He made you self-sufficient.

Rebuff the beggar, but proclaim the blessings of your Lord.
