The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By oath of the night when it covers 1 and by the day when it unveils. 2 And Him Who hath created male and female, 3 Indeed your efforts differ. 4 As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah) 5 And believes in the best [reward], 6 We will ease him toward ease. 7 And as for him who stinteth and is heedless, 8 And rejects the best, 9 Unto him therefore We shall Indeed make easy the path to hardship. 10 And his riches will not avail him when he falls headlong (into the Abyss). 11 Surely Ours is it to show the way, 12 and to Us belong the Last and the First. 13 I have warned you about the fierce blazing fire 14 in which none shall be roasted except the most wretched sinner, 15 who denied [the truth], and turned away. 16 But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,- 17 Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification, 18 and owes no favour to anyone, which is to be repaid, 19 Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High. 20 and he shall surely be satisfied. 21
