The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the night as it envelops; 1 And the day resplendent 2 and That which created the male and the female, 3 Verily your endeavour is diverse. 4 As for one who gives [to others] and fears [God], 5 and confirms the reward most fair, 6 Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease. 7 but for him that is a miser, and sufficed, 8 and have no faith in receiving any reward (from God). 9 Unto him therefore We shall Indeed make easy the path to hardship. 10 nor will his wealth profit him when he falls [into the pit]. 11 Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance 12 and, behold, Ours is [the dominion over] the life to come as well as [over] this earlier part [of your life]: 13 So, I warn you of the blazing Fire. 14 None shall roast therein but the most wretched, 15 who belied and turned away, 16 But the righteous one will avoid it - 17 one who gives his wealth to become purified, 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 He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise). 21
