The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the Night as it conceals (the light); 1 By the day when it appeareth in glory, 2 and by that (Power) which created the male and female, 3 you strive in various ways. 4 As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him, 5 And believes in the best [reward], 6 We will pave his way to ease. 7 But he who does not give and is unconcerned, 8 And denies the best [reward], 9 We will make smooth for him the path for evil; 10 Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit). 11 Indeed guiding is upon Us. 12 and to Us belong the Last and the First. 13 Wherefore I have warned you of Fire flaming, 14 where none shall burn except the most wicked, 15 who belied and turned away, 16 But save him who fears 17 [He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself 18 And no one has done a favour to him, for which he should be compensated. 19 But only seeking the Countenance of his Lord the Most High. 20 and he shall surely be satisfied. 21
