Surah 92 - Al Layl THE NIGHT

092.001 By the Night as it conceals (the light);

092.002 By the Day as it appears in glory;

092.003 By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-

092.004 Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.

092.005 So he who gives (in charity) and fears (God),

092.006 And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,-

092.007 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.

092.008 But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,

092.009 And gives the lie to the best,-

092.010 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;

092.011 Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).

092.012 Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,

092.013 And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.

092.014 Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;

092.015 None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones

092.016 Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.

092.017 But those most devoted to God shall be removed far from it,-

092.018 Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,

092.019 And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,

092.020 But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;

092.021 And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.

Surah 93 - Al Duha THE GLORIOUS MORNING LIGHT

093.001 By the Glorious Morning Light,

093.002 And by the Night when it is still,-

093.003 Thy Guardian-Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.

093.004 And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.

093.005 And soon will thy Guardian-Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well-pleased.

093.006 Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?

093.007 And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.

093.008 And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.

093.009 Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,

093.010 Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);

093.011 But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!

Surah 94 - Al Sharh THE EXPANSION OF THE BREAST

094.001 Have We not expanded thee thy breast?-

094.002 And removed from thee thy burden

094.003 The which did gall thy back?-

094.004 And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?

094.005 So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:

094.006 Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.

094.007 Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,

094.008 And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.

Surah 95 - Al Tin THE FIG

095.001 By the Fig and the Olive,

095.002 And the Mount of Sinai,

095.003 And this City of security,-

095.004 We have indeed created man in the best of moulds,

095.005 Then do We abase him (to be) the lowest of the low,-

095.006 Except such as believe and do righteous deeds: For they shall have a reward unfailing.

095.007 Then what can, after this, contradict thee, as to the judgment (to come)?

095.008 Is not God the wisest of judges?

Surah 96 - Al Alaq THE CLINGING CLOT

096.001 Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created-

096.002 Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood:

096.003 Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,-

096.004 He Who taught (the use of) the pen,-

096.005 Taught man that which he knew not.

096.006 Nay, but man doth transgress all bounds,

096.007 In that he looketh upon himself as self-sufficient.

096.008 Verily, to thy Lord is the return (of all).

096.009 Seest thou one who forbids-

096.010 A votary when he (turns) to pray?

096.011 Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance?-

096.012 Or enjoins Righteousness?

096.013 Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away?

096.014 Knoweth he not that God doth see?

096.015 Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,-

096.016 A lying, sinful forelock!

096.017 Then, let him call (for help) to his council (of comrades):

096.018 We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)!

096.019 Nay, heed him not: But bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer (to God)!

Surah 97 - Al Qadr THE NIGHT OF POWER

097.004 Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by God's permission, on every errand:

097.005 Peace!...This until the rise of morn!

Surah 98 - Al Bayyinah THE CLEAR EVIDENCE

098.001 Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, were not going to depart (from their ways) until there should come to them Clear Evidence,-

098.002 An apostle from God, rehearsing scriptures kept pure and holy:

098.003 Wherein are laws (or decrees) right and straight.

098.004 Nor did the People of the Book make schisms, until after there came to them Clear Evidence.

098.005 And they have been commanded no more than this: To worship God, offering Him sincere devotion, being true (in faith); to establish regular prayer; and to practise regular charity; and that is the Religion Right and Straight.

098.006 Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures.

098.007 Those who have faith and do righteous deeds,- they are the best of creatures.

098.008 Their reward is with God: Gardens of Eternity, beneath which rivers flow; they will dwell therein for ever; God well pleased with them, and they with Him: all this for such as fear their Lord and Cherisher.

099.003 And man cries (distressed): 'What is the matter with her?'-

099.004 On that Day will she declare her tidings:

099.005 For that thy Lord will have given her inspiration.

099.006 On that Day will men proceed in companies sorted out, to be shown the deeds that they (had done).

099.007 Then shall anyone who has done an atom's weight of good, see it!

099.008 And anyone who has done an atom's weight of evil, shall see it.

100.003 And push home the charge in the morning,

100.004 And raise the dust in clouds the while,

100.005 And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse;-

100.006 Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;

100.007 And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);

100.008 And violent is he in his love of wealth.

100.009 Does he not know,- when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad

101.004 (It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,

101.005 And the mountains will be like carded wool.

101.006 Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,

101.007 Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.

101.008 But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light,-

101.009 Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.

101.010 And what will explain to thee what this is?

101.011 (It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!

Surah 102 - Al Takathur THE PILING UP

102.001 The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),

102.002 Until ye visit the graves.

102.003 But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality).

102.004 Again, ye soon shall know!

102.005 Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)

104.004 By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,

104.005 And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?

104.006 (It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) God kindled (to a blaze),

104.007 The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:

104.008 It shall be made into a vault over them,

104.009 In columns outstretched.

Surah 105 - Al Fil THE ELEPHANT

105.001 Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?
