The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the night, when it envelops, 1 and by the day when it unveils. 2 And by Him Who created male and female; 3 Indeed, your efforts are diverse. 4 Yet he who gives to others and has fear, 5 and believes in the truth of the ultimate good 6 We will ease him toward ease. 7 And for him who hoarded wealth and remained carefree, 8 and calls the ultimate good a lie 9 We shall surely ease for him the Path of Hardship (the Fire). 10 nor will his wealth profit him when he falls [into the pit]. 11 Verify on us is the guidance 12 And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning. 13 Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire 14 None shall enter it save the most wretched, 15 who have rejected the (Truth) and have turned away from it. 16 The pious ones will be safe from this fire 17 one who gives his wealth to become purified, 18 and confers no favor upon anyone for recompense 19 But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High; 20 And he is going to be satisfied. 21
