The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the night as it envelops; 1 And the day when it shines in brightness, 2 and by the creation of the male and the female. 3 you strive in various ways. 4 Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil), 5 and believes in the finest, 6 We will ease him toward ease. 7 but for him that is a miser, and sufficed, 8 And rejects the best, 9 We will facilitate for him the difficult end. 10 Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit). 11 Indeed guiding is upon Us. 12 And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former. 13 Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames: 14 None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones 15 who rejected the Truth, calling it falsehood and turned his back on it. 16 and from which the most godfearing shall be removed, 17 He who gives his wealth to be purified, 18 and owes no favour to anyone, which is to be repaid, 19 but only to seek the good pleasure of his Lord Most High. 20 And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction. 21
