The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the night when it covers 1 And the day resplendent 2 and by the creation of the male and the female. 3 you strive in various ways. 4 As for one who gives [to others] and fears [God], 5 And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,- 6 We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness). 7 And for him who hoarded wealth and remained carefree, 8 and cries lies to the reward most fair, 9 So We will very soon provide him hardship. 10 His riches will not save him when he perisheth. 11 BEHOLD, it is indeed for Us to grace [you] with guidance; 12 And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life]. 13 Wherefore I have warned you of Fire flaming, 14 None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones 15 who rejected the Truth, calling it falsehood and turned his back on it. 16 But save him who fears 17 one who gives his wealth to become purified, 18 And who hath no favour from anyone to recompense. 19 seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High, 20 surely, he shall be satisfied. 21
