The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the night when it envelopeth, 1 And [by] the day when it appears 2 And [by] He who created the male and female, 3 That your endeavour is for different ends. 4 Yet he who gives to others and has fear, 5 and believes in the finest, 6 We shall surely ease him to the Easing. 7 But he who does not give and is unconcerned, 8 And gives the lie to Al-Husna (see Verse No: 6 footnote); 9 Unto him therefore We shall Indeed make easy the path to hardship. 10 And what will his wealth avail him when he falls? 11 Surely, in Our hands is guidance, 12 and to Us belongs the Hereafter as well as the present world -- 13 and so I warn you of the raging fire 14 in which no one will suffer forever except the wicked ones 15 Who denied the truth and turned away. 16 He will be far away from the most pious. 17 He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification, 18 And is under no one's obligation to return his favour, 19 except the pleasure of their Lord, the Most High 20 And presently he shall become well pleased. 21
