The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
I swear by the night when it draws a veil, 1 And the day when it shines in brightness, 2 Consider the creation 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 And believes in Al-Husna. 6 We will pave his way to ease. 7 But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient, 8 and he belied the finest 9 Surely We will ease his way unto adversity. 10 his wealth shall not avail him when he perishes. 11 Surely Ours is it to show the way, 12 And indeed the Hereafter and this world both belong to Us. 13 and so I warn you of the raging fire 14 None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one. 15 The one who denied and turned away. 16 For, distant from it shall remain he who is truly conscious of God: 17 even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself 18 not as payment for any favours that he received, 19 Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High. 20 And presently he shall become well pleased. 21
