وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ ( 1 )

By the night when it covers

وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ( 2 )

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ ( 3 )

And [by] He who created the male and female,

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ ( 4 )

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ ( 5 )

As for he who gives and fears Allah

وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ( 6 )

And believes in the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ( 7 )

We will ease him toward ease.

وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ ( 8 )

But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ( 9 )

And denies the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ ( 10 )

We will ease him toward difficulty.

وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ ( 11 )

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ ( 12 )

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ ( 13 )

And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ ( 14 )

So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى ( 15 )

None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.

الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ( 16 )

Who had denied and turned away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى ( 17 )

But the righteous one will avoid it -

الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ( 18 )

[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ ( 19 )

And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded

إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ ( 20 )

But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ ( 21 )

And he is going to be satisfied.

The Sword of Allah: Khalid bin Al-WaleedThe Sword of Allah: Khalid bin Al-Waleed: Khalid bin Al-Waleed was one of the greatest generals in history, and one of the greatest heroes of Islam. Besides him, Genghis Khan was the only other general to remain undefeated in his entire military life. This book was written by the late Lieutenant-General A.I. Akram of the Pakistan Army, in October 1969. The author learnt Arabic in order to draw on the earliest historical sources and he visited every one of Khalid's battlefields in order to draw analyses from the viewpoint of military strategy, including reconciling conflicting historians' accounts. The book was originally published by the Army Education Press, Rawalpindi, Pakistan and printed by Feroze Sons Publishers in Lahore, Pakistan. The excellence of the book was such that it has been translated from English into Arabic and is currently sold in bookshops throughout the Arab World.
