يُوفُونَ بِٱلنَّذۡرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوۡمٗا كَانَ شَرُّهُۥ مُسۡتَطِيرٗا
They ˹are those who˺ fulfil ˹their˺ vows and fear a Day of sweeping horror,
وَيُطۡعِمُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِۦ مِسۡكِينٗا وَيَتِيمٗا وَأَسِيرًا
and give food—despite their desire for it—to the poor, the orphan, and the captive,
إِنَّمَا نُطۡعِمُكُمۡ لِوَجۡهِ ٱللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنكُمۡ جَزَآءٗ وَلَا شُكُورًا
˹saying to themselves,˺ “We feed you only for the sake of Allah, seeking neither reward nor thanks from you.
إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِن رَّبِّنَا يَوۡمًا عَبُوسٗا قَمۡطَرِيرٗا
We fear from our Lord a horribly distressful Day.”
فَوَقَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمِ وَلَقَّىٰهُمۡ نَضۡرَةٗ وَسُرُورٗا
So Allah will deliver them from the horror of that Day, and grant them radiance and joy,
وَجَزَىٰهُم بِمَا صَبَرُواْ جَنَّةٗ وَحَرِيرٗا
and reward them for their perseverance with a Garden ˹in Paradise˺ and ˹garments of˺ silk.
مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ فِيهَا عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِۖ لَا يَرَوۡنَ فِيهَا شَمۡسٗا وَلَا زَمۡهَرِيرٗا
There they will be reclining on ˹canopied˺ couches, never seeing scorching heat or bitter cold.1
