The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the night enshrouding 1 by the day when it appears radiant, 2 And Him who created the male and female, 3 surely your striving is to diverse ends. 4 As for him who gave out his wealth (for Allah's sake) and abstained (from disobeying Him), 5 And believeth in goodness; 6 We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness). 7 As for him who was a miser and behaved with aversion (to Allah), 8 And denied the best matter, 9 So We will very soon provide him hardship. 10 his wealth shall not avail him when he perishes. 11 Surely it is for Us to show the Right Way, 12 and to Us belong the Last and the First. 13 and so I warn you of the raging fire 14 None except the most wicked will enter it. 15 who have rejected the (Truth) and have turned away from it. 16 Far removed from it will be the righteous 17 He who gives his wealth to be purified, 18 And none hath with him any favour for reward, 19 acting only for the sake of his Lord the Most High -- 20 He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise). 21
