The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the night when it covers the day, 1 by the day when it appears radiant, 2 and by the creation of the male and the female. 3 surely your strivings are divergent. 4 Yet he who gives to others and has fear, 5 And believeth in goodness; 6 We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness). 7 But he who does not give and is unconcerned, 8 and calls the ultimate good a lie 9 We shall facilitate the path to affliction 10 And what will his wealth benefit him when he goes down (in destruction). 11 Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide, 12 and to Us belong the Last and the First. 13 I have warned you then about a raging Fire: 14 None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones 15 Who had denied and turned away. 16 For, distant from it shall remain he who is truly conscious of God: 17 even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself 18 They do not expect any reward 19 Other than seeking the glory of his Lord, most high, 20 He will surely be well-pleased (with him). 21
