> SURA XCII (92) - The Night   (Mecca - 21)                      (XVI - 31)       
>  
>        In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
>  
>        By the Night when she spreads her veil;
>  
>        By the Day when it brightly shineth;
>  
>        By Him who made male and female;
>  
>        At different ends truly do ye aim!
>  
>        But as to him who giveth alms and feareth God,
>  
>        And yieldeth assent to the Good;
>  
>        To him will we make easy the path to happiness.
>  
>        But as to him who is covetous and bent on riches,
>  
>        And calleth the Good a lie,
>  
> 92:10  To him will we make easy the path to misery:
>  
>        And what shall his wealth avail him when he goeth down?
>  
>        Truly man's guidance is with Us
>  
>        And Our's, the Future and the Past.
>  
>        I warn you therefore of the flaming fire;
>  
>        None shall be cast to it but the most wretched, -
>  
>        Who hath called the truth a lie and turned his back.
>  
>        But the God-fearing shall escape it, -
>  
>        Who giveth away his substance that he may become pure;
>  
>        And who offereth not favours to any one for the sake of recompense,
>  
> 92:20  But only as seeking the face of his Lord the Most High.
>  
>        And surely in the end he shall be well content.
