The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the night when it covers 1 by the day when it appears radiant, 2 And by oath of the One Who created the male and the female. 3 Indeed your efforts differ. 4 As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him, 5 and believes in the finest, 6 Unto him therefore We shall indeed make easy the path to ease. 7 As for him who was a miser and behaved with aversion (to Allah), 8 and have no faith in receiving any reward (from God). 9 for him shall We make easy the path towards hardship: 10 and their wealth will be of no benefit to them when they face destruction. 11 Indeed, Guidance is Ours, 12 And to Us belong the End and the Beginning. 13 Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames: 14 None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one. 15 The one who denied and turned away. 16 But save him who fears 17 even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself 18 And is under no one's obligation to return his favour, 19 But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High. 20 And presently he shall become well pleased. 21
