The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the night enshrouding 1 And the day when it shines in all its glory, 2 And Him who created the male and female, 3 Indeed your efforts differ. 4 Yet he who gives to others and has fear, 5 and believes in the finest, 6 We will facilitate for him the easy end. 7 But for those who are niggardly, horde their wealth, 8 and he belied the finest 9 So We will very soon provide him hardship. 10 And what will his wealth benefit him when he goes down (in destruction). 11 Surely, it is for Us to provide guidance -- 12 And indeed the Hereafter and this world both belong to Us. 13 Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire 14 None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one. 15 who gives the lie to the truth and turns away [from it]. 16 and from which the most godfearing shall be removed, 17 even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself 18 They do not expect any reward 19 acting only for the sake of his Lord the Most High -- 20 And he is going to be satisfied. 21
