By the night when it spreads, and the day when it shines forth, and Him Who created the male and the female: In fact, your endeavors (O men) are for different ends.1 So he who gave wealth (in God's Way) and avoided (God's disobedience), and believed in goodness,2 for him We shall facilitate the easy way.3 As for him who was niggardly and lived as though he was independent (of God) and belied goodness,4 for him We shall facilitate the hard way5 And what will his. wealth avail him when he perishes?6 Indeed, it is for Us to tell the Way,7 and, indeed, Ours are both the Hereafter and this present life.8 So, I have warned you of the blazing Fire. None shall burn in it but the most wretched one, who belied and turned away. And away from it shall be kept the most pious one, who gives away his wealth in order to purify himself.9 He has received no favor from anyone for which he may have to return a reward. He only seeks the goodwill of his Lord, the Exalted,10 and He will certainly be well-pleased (with him).11
