The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the night when it covers the day, 1 and the day as it rises bright! 2 and by the creation of the male and the female. 3 Verily your endeavour is diverse. 4 As for he who gives and fears Allah 5 for those who spend for the cause of God, 6 We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness). 7 But he who does not give and is unconcerned, 8 And who belieth the Good, 9 We shall facilitate the path to affliction 10 And his riches will not avail him when he falls headlong (into the Abyss). 11 Surely upon Us rests the guidance, 12 And verify Ours is both the Hereafter and the life present. 13 So, I warn you of the blazing Fire. 14 in which no one will suffer forever except the wicked ones 15 He who denieth and turneth away. 16 But the God-fearing shall be kept away from it, 17 Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification, 18 and owes no favour to anyone, which is to be repaid, 19 He desires only to please his Lord, the Supreme. 20 And he shall soon be well-pleased. 21
