The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By oath of the night when it covers 1 By the Day as it appears in glory; 2 By Him Who hath created the male and the female, 3 Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse. 4 Then as for him who giveths and feareth Him. 5 And believes in the best [reward], 6 So We will very soon provide him ease. 7 But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent, 8 and rejects what is right, 9 We will ease him toward difficulty. 10 nor will his wealth profit him when he falls [into the pit]. 11 Verify on us is the guidance 12 and, behold, Ours is [the dominion over] the life to come as well as [over] this earlier part [of your life]: 13 Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire 14 None shall roast therein but the most wretched, 15 Who denied (the truth) and turned away. 16 The pious ones will be safe from this fire 17 He who gives his wealth to be purified, 18 not as payment for favours received, 19 But only seeking the Countenance of his Lord the Most High. 20 And he is going to be satisfied. 21
