The Night (Al-Layl)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the night as it envelops; 1 and the day in splendour 2 And by Him Who created male and female; 3 Indeed, your efforts are diverse. 4 As for him who gave out his wealth (for Allah's sake) and abstained (from disobeying Him), 5 and believes in the truth of the ultimate good 6 We will facilitate for him the easy end. 7 And for him who hoarded wealth and remained carefree, 8 and cries lies to the reward most fair, 9 for him shall We make easy the path towards hardship: 10 And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes. 11 Indeed, Guidance is Ours, 12 And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning. 13 and so I warn you of the raging fire 14 none shall enter it but the most wicked, 15 The one who denied and turned away. 16 And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil), 17 even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself 18 and owes no favour to anyone, which is to be repaid, 19 Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High. 20 And indeed, soon he will be very pleased. 21
