The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the night when it covers 1 and by the day when it unveils. 2 and That which created the male and the female, 3 Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends). 4 Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil), 5 and affirmed the Truth of goodness: 6 We shall surely ease him to the Easing. 7 And as for him who stinteth and is heedless, 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 It is indeed for Us to show the way, 12 and to Us belong the Last and the First. 13 I therefore warn you of the fire that is ablaze. 14 None except the most wicked will enter it. 15 Who denies and turns away. 16 But the righteous one will avoid it - 17 Who gives his wealth in order to be pure. 18 and confers no favour on any man for recompense, 19 but only out of a longing for the countenance of his Sustainer, the All-Highest: 20 And presently he shall become well pleased. 21
