| 15. None shall enter it but the most wicked one, 16. Who rejects the truth and turns his back on it. 17. But the righteous one shall be kept away from it, 18. Who gives his wealth that he may be purified, 19. And not because he owes a favour to anyone, which is to be repaid, 20. But solely to seek the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High. 21. Surely, will HE be well-pleased with him. 1. By the brightness of the forenoon, 2. And by the night when its darkness spreads out, 3. Thy Lord has not forsaken thee, nor is HE displeased with thee. 4. Surely, thy latter state is better for thee than the former, 5. And thy Lord will soon give thee, and thou wilt be well-pleased. 6. Did HE not find thee an orphan and take thee under HIS care, 7. And found thee lost in love for thy people and provided thee with guidance for them, 8. And found thee in want and enriched thee ? 9. So the orphan, oppress not, 10. And him, who seeks thy help, chide not, 11. And the bounty of thy Lord, proclaim. 1. Have WE not opened for thee thy bosom, 2. And removed from thee thy burden, 3. Which had well-nigh broken thy back ? 4. And WE have exalted thy name. 5. Surely, there is ease after hardship. 6. Aye, surely, there is ease after hardship. 7. So when thou art free from thy immediate task, strive hard, 8. And to thy Lord do thou turn with full attention. |
