The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the Night as it conceals (the light); 1 by the day when it appears radiant, 2 Consider the creation of the male and the female! 3 Indeed, your efforts are diverse. 4 As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him, 5 And believes in Al-Husna. 6 We will facilitate for him the easy end. 7 But as for him who is a miser, and self-sufficient, 8 And rejects the best, 9 We shall facilitate the path to affliction 10 His wealth will not avail him when he falls into ruin. 11 Surely it is for Us to show the Right Way, 12 And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life]. 13 Wherefore I have warned you of Fire flaming, 14 in which none shall be roasted except the most wretched sinner, 15 who denied [the truth], and turned away. 16 But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,- 17 the Godfearing who spends his wealth to purify himself; 18 and confers no favor upon anyone for recompense 19 only seeking the Face of his Lord the Most High; 20 surely, he shall be satisfied. 21
