The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the night when it covers 1 and by the day when it breaks in its glory, 2 And by oath of the One Who created the male and the female. 3 Indeed your efforts differ. 4 For him that gives and fears (Allah) 5 And believeth in goodness; 6 Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease. 7 As for him who was a miser and behaved with aversion (to Allah), 8 And rejects the best, 9 For him We shall ease the way of adversity, 10 And what will his wealth benefit him when he goes down (in destruction). 11 Verify on us is the guidance 12 And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning. 13 Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely; 14 No one will burn in it but the most wretched, 15 Who belieth and turneth away. 16 He will be far away from the most pious. (The first Caliph S. Abu Bakr Siddiq) 17 the Godfearing who spends his wealth to purify himself; 18 And is under no one's obligation to return his favour, 19 only seeking the Face of his Lord the Most High; 20 Will surely be gratified. 21
