The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the Night as it conceals (the light); 1 And the day resplendent 2 and That which created the male and the female, 3 Indeed your efforts differ. 4 As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah) 5 and confirms the reward most fair, 6 We shall facilitate for him the Way to Bliss. 7 But he who does not give and is unconcerned, 8 and have no faith in receiving any reward (from God). 9 We will ease him toward difficulty. 10 and his wealth shall be of no avail to him when he perishes. 11 Indeed guiding is upon Us. 12 And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former. 13 I have warned you then about a raging Fire: 14 No one will burn in it but the most wretched, 15 who rejected the Truth, calling it falsehood and turned his back on it. 16 One who fears God shall be kept away from it -- 17 even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself 18 And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded, 19 But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High. 20 He will surely be well-pleased (with him). 21
