The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the night when it enshrouds, 1 and the day in splendour 2 and by that (Power) which created the male and female, 3 surely your striving is to diverse ends. 4 As for he who gives and fears Allah 5 and affirmed the Truth of goodness: 6 Unto him therefore We shall indeed make easy the path to ease. 7 But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient. 8 and cries lies to the reward most fair, 9 We shall facilitate the path to affliction 10 and his wealth shall be of no avail to him when he perishes. 11 Indeed guiding is upon Us. 12 And indeed the Hereafter and this world both belong to Us. 13 I therefore warn you of the fire that is ablaze. 14 None shall enter it save the most wretched, 15 who rejected the Truth, calling it falsehood and turned his back on it. 16 But the righteous one will avoid it - 17 the Godfearing who spends his wealth to purify himself; 18 and confers no favor upon anyone for recompense 19 only seeking the Face of his Lord the Most High; 20 He will surely be well-pleased (with him). 21
