The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the night enshrouding 1 And the day when it shines in all its glory, 2 And the creating of the male and the female, 3 you strive in various ways. 4 Thus, as for him who gives [to others] and is conscious of God, 5 And believes in Al-Husna. 6 We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness). 7 And as for him who stinteth and is heedless, 8 And denies the best [reward], 9 We will ease him toward difficulty. 10 nor will his wealth profit him when he falls [into the pit]. 11 Surely upon Us rests the guidance, 12 And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world). 13 I have warned you then about a raging Fire: 14 [the fire] which none shall have to endure but that most hapless wretch 15 even he who cried lies, and turned away; 16 But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,- 17 And gives of his wealth that he may grow in virtue, 18 And none hath with him any favour for reward, 19 seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High, 20 He will surely be well-pleased (with him). 21
