The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the Night as it conceals (the light); 1 By the Day as it appears in glory; 2 By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;- 3 Verily your endeavour is diverse. 4 Then as for him who giveths and feareth Him. 5 And believes in Al-Husna. 6 We shall facilitate for him the Way to Bliss. 7 But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need 8 And denies the best [reward], 9 For him We shall ease the way of adversity, 10 And what will his wealth benefit him when he goes down (in destruction). 11 Indeed guiding is upon Us. 12 and to Us belongs the Hereafter as well as the present world -- 13 I have warned you about the fierce blazing fire 14 None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one. 15 who belied and turned away, 16 But the righteous one will avoid it - 17 the Godfearing who spends his wealth to purify himself; 18 And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return, 19 But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High; 20 He verily will be content. 21
