1وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ

2وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

3وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ

4إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ

5فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ

6وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ

7فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

8وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ

9وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ

10فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ

11وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ

12إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ

13وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْـَٔاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ

14فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ

15لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى

16ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

17وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى

18ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

19وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ

20إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ

21وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
