The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the night when it covers 1 And [by] the day when it appears 2 and by the creation of the male and the female. 3 surely your striving is to diverse ends. 4 As for him who gave out his wealth (for Allah's sake) and abstained (from disobeying Him), 5 And believes in the best [reward], 6 We shall facilitate for him the Way to Bliss. 7 But as for him who is niggardly, and thinks that he is self-sufficient, 8 and he belied the finest 9 So We will very soon provide him hardship. 10 When he falls (into Hell), his wealth will not help him. 11 It is indeed for Us to show the way, 12 and to Us belong the Last and the First. 13 Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames: 14 Which only the most wretched must endure, 15 who rejected the Truth, calling it falsehood and turned his back on it. 16 But the righteous one will avoid it - 17 Who giveth away his substance that he may be cleansed, 18 and owes no favour to anyone, which is to be repaid, 19 But only seeking the Countenance of his Lord the Most High. 20 And he is going to be satisfied. 21
