The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the Night as it conceals (the light); 1 and the day as it rises bright! 2 And the creating of the male and the female, 3 Indeed your efforts differ. 4 As for him who gave out his wealth (for Allah's sake) and abstained (from disobeying Him), 5 for those who spend for the cause of God, 6 Unto him therefore We shall indeed make easy the path to ease. 7 But he who does not give and is unconcerned, 8 And gives the lie to the best,- 9 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery; 10 and their wealth will be of no benefit to them when they face destruction. 11 Surely, in Our hands is guidance, 12 And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former. 13 So, I warn you of the blazing Fire. 14 in which no one will suffer forever except the wicked ones 15 The one who denied and turned away. 16 But the God-fearing shall be kept away from it, 17 He who gives his wealth to be purified, 18 And none hath with him any favour for reward, 19 Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High. 20 And he is going to be satisfied. 21
