The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the night, when it envelops, 1 and the day as it rises bright! 2 and by that (Power) which created the male and female, 3 you strive in various ways. 4 For him that gives and fears (Allah) 5 And testifieth to the Good, 6 observe piety, and believe in receiving rewards from God. 7 But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need 8 And denied the best matter, 9 We shall facilitate the path to affliction 10 his wealth shall not avail him when he perishes. 11 Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance 12 And verify Ours is both the Hereafter and the life present. 13 So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing. 14 None shall roast therein but the most wretched, 15 The one who denied and turned away. 16 And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil), 17 who spend for the cause of God and purify themselves. 18 And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded, 19 Other than seeking the glory of his Lord, most high, 20 And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction. 21
