The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the night as it envelops; 1 and the day in splendour 2 And [by] He who created the male and female, 3 Indeed, your efforts are diverse. 4 As for him who gives and is godfearing 5 for those who spend for the cause of God, 6 We shall ease the way of fortune for him. 7 but for him that is a miser, and sufficed, 8 And rejects goodness, 9 We will make smooth for him the path for evil; 10 And his riches will not avail him when he falls headlong (into the Abyss). 11 Indeed guiding is upon Us. 12 And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning. 13 Wherefore I have warned you of Fire flaming, 14 No one will burn in it but the most wretched, 15 who belied and turned away, 16 and from which the cautious shall be distanced. 17 even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself 18 And who hath no favour from anyone to recompense. 19 only seeking the Face of his Lord the Most High; 20 He will surely be well-pleased (with him). 21
