The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the night when it enshrouds, 1 and the day as it rises bright! 2 And by oath of the One Who created the male and the female. 3 you strive in various ways. 4 We shall facilitate the path to bliss 5 And accepts the best, 6 observe piety, and believe in receiving rewards from God. 7 But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient. 8 and rejects what is right, 9 for him shall We make easy the path towards hardship: 10 His riches will not save him when he perisheth. 11 It is indeed for Us to show the way, 12 And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former. 13 So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing. 14 in which none shall be roasted except the most wretched sinner, 15 who denied [the truth], and turned away. 16 But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,- 17 who spend for the cause of God and purify themselves. 18 And is under no one's obligation to return his favour, 19 but only out of a longing for the countenance of his Sustainer, the All-Highest: 20 He verily will be content. 21
