The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the night, when it envelops, 1 and by the day when it breaks in its glory, 2 and by the creation of the male and the female. 3 surely your striving is to diverse ends. 4 Then as for him who giveths and feareth Him. 5 for those who spend for the cause of God, 6 We will ease him toward ease. 7 But he who does not give and is unconcerned, 8 And disbelieveth in goodness; 9 We shall surely ease him to the Hardship; 10 And his riches will not avail him when he falls headlong (into the Abyss). 11 It is indeed for Us to show the way, 12 And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning. 13 So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing. 14 None except the most wicked will enter it. 15 Who belieth and turneth away. 16 Far removed from it will be the righteous 17 Who giveth away his substance that he may be cleansed, 18 not as payment for favours received, 19 Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High. 20 And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction. 21
