The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the night when it enshrouds, 1 and by the day when it unveils. 2 Consider the creation of the male and the female! 3 Indeed, your efforts are diverse. 4 Yet he who gives to others and has fear, 5 and confirms the reward most fair, 6 We will facilitate for him the easy end. 7 And for him who hoarded wealth and remained carefree, 8 And who belieth the Good, 9 For him We shall ease the way of adversity, 10 Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit). 11 BEHOLD, it is indeed for Us to grace [you] with guidance; 12 And indeed the Hereafter and this world both belong to Us. 13 I have warned you about the fierce blazing fire 14 whereat none but the most wretched shall be roasted, 15 who belied and turned away, 16 He will be far away from the most pious. (The first Caliph S. Abu Bakr Siddiq) 17 he that spends his possessions [on others] so that he might grow in purity 18 and owes no favour to anyone, which is to be repaid, 19 acting only for the sake of his Lord the Most High -- 20 And presently he shall become well pleased. 21
