The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the night enshrouding 1 and the day in splendour 2 And by Him Who created male and female; 3 Verily your endeavour is diverse. 4 As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him, 5 And believes in the best [reward], 6 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. 7 But he who does not give and is unconcerned, 8 and he belied the finest 9 So We will very soon provide him hardship. 10 Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit). 11 Surely upon Us rests the guidance, 12 And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning. 13 Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely; 14 Which only the most wretched must endure, 15 who have rejected the (Truth) and have turned away from it. 16 But save him who fears 17 even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself 18 They do not expect any reward 19 Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High. 20 He will surely be well-pleased (with him). 21
