The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the night when it covers the day, 1 and by the day when it unveils. 2 Consider the creation of the male and the female! 3 surely your strivings are divergent. 4 Thus, as for him who gives [to others] and is conscious of God, 5 And believes in Al-Husna. 6 We shall surely ease him to the Path of Easing; 7 But as for him who is niggardly, and thinks that he is self-sufficient, 8 And denied the best matter, 9 We will ease him toward difficulty. 10 Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit). 11 It is indeed for Us to show the way, 12 And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former. 13 I have warned you then about a raging Fire: 14 in which no one will suffer forever except the wicked ones 15 who belied and turned away, 16 But the God-fearing shall be kept away from it, 17 he that spends his possessions [on others] so that he might grow in purity 18 And have in his mind no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return, 19 seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High, 20 And he is going to be satisfied. 21
