By the Night as it\n Conceals (the light);\n2. By the Day as it\n Appears in glory;\n3. By (the mystery of)\n The creation of male\n And female;\u2014\n4. Verily, (the ends) ye\n Strive for are diverse.\n5. \u1e62o he who gives\n (In charity) and fears (God),\n6. And (in all sincerity)\n Testifies to the Best,\u2014\n7. We will indeed\n Make smooth for him\n The path to Bliss,\n8. But he who is\n A greedy miser\n And thinks himself\n Self-sufficient,\n9. And gives the lie\n To the Best,\u2014\n10. We will indeed\n Make smooth for him\n The Path to Misery;\n11. Nor will his wealth\n Profit him when he\n Falls headlong (into the Pit).\n12. Verily We take\n Upon Ourselves to guide,\n13. And verily unto Us\n (Belong) the End\n And the Beginning,\n14. Therefore do I warn you\n Of a Fire blazing fiercely;\n15. None shall reach it\n But those most unfortunate ones\n16. Who give the lie to Truth\n And turn their backs.\n17. But those most devoted\n To God shall be\n Removed far from it,\u2014\n18. Those who spend their wealth\n For increase in self-purification,\n19. And have in their minds\n No favour from anyone\n For which a reward\n Is expected in return,\n20. But only the desire\n To seek for the Countenance\n Of their Lord Most High;\n21. And soon will they\n Attain (complete) satisfaction.","title":"The Holy Quran: S\u016bra XCII.
