The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the night, when it envelops, 1 And the day when it shines in all its glory, 2 And Him Who hath created male and female, 3 Indeed, your efforts are diverse. 4 Then as for him who giveths and feareth Him. 5 And accepts the best, 6 We shall surely ease him to the Path of Easing; 7 But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient. 8 And disbelieveth in goodness; 9 We shall facilitate the path to affliction 10 His wealth will not avail him when he falls into ruin. 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 I have warned you then about a raging Fire: 14 in which none shall be roasted except the most wretched sinner, 15 who denied [the truth], and turned away. 16 One who fears God shall be kept away from it -- 17 [He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself 18 And is under no one's obligation to return his favour, 19 Other than seeking the glory of his Lord, most high, 20 And presently he shall become well pleased. 21
