There is difficult life for the miser and deniers
- And as for whoever is stingy and has have enough (92:8). And has denied in the best (92:9). Then we will make for him to the difficulty (92:10). And his wealth will not help him when he has fallen into ruin (92:11).

A blazing Fire is for a wretched while a righteous is removed from it
- So, I have warned you about a blazing Fire (92:14). None will enter it except the wretched one (92:15). Who has denied and has turned away (92:16). And the righteous one will be removed from it (92:17), who gives his wealth to purify him (92:18), and not to be rewarded any favor for anyone with him (92:19), except seeking a pleasure of his Lord, the High (92:20), and surely he will be pleased (92:21).
Note: God has warned the blazing Fire for those who have denied and turned away from His message, while He will remove it from those who have purified themselves by giving their wealth to charity seeking a pleasure of their Lord, the High.
Surah al-layl (Surah 92: The Night) is an earlier revelation and a short surah consisting of 21 short verses starting with an oath of God, which has addressed that the people can choose an easy life instead of the difficult life to escape Hell by purifying themselves giving to charity seeking God’s pleasure as well as not denying and turning away from His message informing them that the Hereafter as well as the life of the world belongs to Him.
