1. By the night as it envelops;

2. And by the day as it appears in brightness;

5. As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him,

6. And believes in Al-Husna.

8. But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient .

9. And gives the lie to Al-Husna (see Verse No: 6 footnote);

10. We will make smooth for him the path for evil;

11. And what will his wealth benefit him when he goes down (in destruction).

12. Truly! Ours it is (to give) guidance,

13. And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world).
