The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the night as it envelops; 1 And the day when it shines in brightness, 2 and by the creation of the male and the female. 3 your striving is indeed to different ends! 4 As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him, 5 And affirms goodness, 6 Unto him therefore We shall indeed make easy the path to ease. 7 but for him that is a miser, and sufficed, 8 and he belied the finest 9 We will make smooth for him the path for evil; 10 His riches will not save him when he perisheth. 11 Truly! Ours it is (to give) guidance, 12 And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life]. 13 I have warned you then about a raging Fire: 14 None shall enter it but the most unhappy, 15 The one who denied and turned away. 16 But save him who fears 17 He who gives his wealth to be purified, 18 and confers no favor upon anyone for recompense 19 But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High. 20 He verily will be content. 21
