The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the night when it covers the day, 1 And the day when it shines in all its glory, 2 and by that (Power) which created the male and female, 3 Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends). 4 Then as for him who giveths and feareth Him. 5 And believeth in goodness; 6 We shall ease the way of fortune for him. 7 But as for one who is miserly and unheeding, 8 And disbelieveth in goodness; 9 We will ease him toward difficulty. 10 And what will his wealth avail him when he falls? 11 Indeed, Guidance is Ours, 12 And verify Ours is both the Hereafter and the life present. 13 I have now warned you of the Blazing Fire, 14 in which none shall be roasted except the most wretched sinner, 15 who gives the lie to the truth and turns away [from it]. 16 But save him who fears 17 who spend for the cause of God and purify themselves. 18 and owes no favour to anyone, which is to be repaid, 19 But only seeking the Countenance of his Lord the Most High. 20 And he is going to be satisfied. 21
