The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
CONSIDER the night as it veils [the earth] in darkness, 1 By the Day as it appears in glory; 2 And by oath of the One Who created the male and the female. 3 Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse. 4 For him that gives and fears (Allah) 5 And believes in Al-Husna. 6 We shall surely ease him to the Path of Easing; 7 But he who does not give and is unconcerned, 8 And denies the best [reward], 9 We shall pave his way to 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 verify Ours is both the Hereafter and the life present. 13 I have now warned you of a Blazing Fire, 14 none shall enter it but the most wicked, 15 who belied and turned away, 16 He will be far away from the most pious. (The first Caliph S. Abu Bakr Siddiq) 17 Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification, 18 And is under no one's obligation to return his favour, 19 He desires only to please his Lord, the Supreme. 20 And he is going to be satisfied. 21
