And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ ﴿١٢﴾

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْـَٔاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿١٣﴾

Who had denied and turned away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى ﴿١٧﴾

But the righteous one will avoid it

ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ﴿١٨﴾

alladhī yu'tī mālahu yatazakkā

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

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ ﴿١٩﴾

wamā li-aḥadin ʿindahu min niʿ'matin tuj'zā

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

إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ﴿٢٠﴾

illā ib'tighāa wajhi rabbihi l-aʿlā

But only seeking the face [i.e., acceptance] of his Lord, Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ ﴿٢١﴾
