The Night (Al-Layl)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By oath of the night when it covers 1 And by oath of the day when it shines 2 By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;- 3 That your endeavour is for different ends. 4 As for one who gives [to others] and fears [God], 5 and believes in the truth of what is right, 6 We shall facilitate for him the Way to Bliss. 7 But as for him who is a miser, and self-sufficient, 8 and he belied the finest 9 We will facilitate for him the difficult end. 10 And what will his wealth avail him when he falls? 11 Verify on us is the guidance 12 And verify Ours is both the Hereafter and the life present. 13 So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing. 14 None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones 15 Who had denied and turned away. 16 But the God-fearing shall be kept away from it, 17 even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself 18 And no one has done a favour to him, for which he should be compensated. 19 except the pleasure of their Lord, the Most High 20 And indeed, soon he will be very pleased. 21
