The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the night when it enshrouds, 1 And [by] the day when it appears 2 And by oath of the One Who created the male and the female. 3 O men, you truly strive towards the most diverse ends! 4 Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil), 5 And believes in Al-Husna. 6 We shall surely ease him to the Easing. 7 And as for him who stinteth and is heedless, 8 And rejects the best, 9 We will ease him toward difficulty. 10 When he falls (into Hell), his wealth will not help him. 11 It is indeed for Us to show the way, 12 and, behold, Ours is [the dominion over] the life to come as well as [over] this earlier part [of your life]: 13 Now I have warned you of a Fire that flames, 14 in which none shall be roasted except the most wretched sinner, 15 who gives the lie to the truth and turns away [from it]. 16 Far removed from it will be the righteous 17 even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself 18 And is under no one's obligation to return his favour, 19 but only to seek the good pleasure of his Lord Most High. 20 surely, he shall be satisfied. 21
