The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the night when it envelopeth, 1 And by the day as it appears in brightness; 2 And by Him Who created male and female; 3 Verily, [O men,] you aim at most divergent ends! 4 We shall facilitate the path to bliss 5 and confirms the reward most fair, 6 We will facilitate for him the easy end. 7 But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient. 8 And disbelieveth in goodness; 9 Surely We will ease his way unto adversity. 10 And what will his wealth avail him when he falls? 11 Indeed, Guidance is Ours, 12 and to Us belong the Last and the First. 13 I have now warned you of the Blazing Fire, 14 in which no one will suffer forever except the wicked ones 15 who rejected the Truth, calling it falsehood and turned his back on it. 16 But the righteous one will avoid it - 17 He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification, 18 And is under no one's obligation to return his favour, 19 Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High. 20 and he shall surely be satisfied. 21
