The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the night when it enshrouds, 1 and the day as it rises bright! 2 Consider the creation of the male and the female! 3 you strive in various ways. 4 So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah), 5 And accepts the best, 6 We will ease him toward ease. 7 But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need 8 And disbelieveth in goodness; 9 for him shall We make easy the path towards hardship: 10 And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes. 11 Surely Ours is it to show the way, 12 and to Us belong the hereafter and the worldly life. 13 Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely; 14 None except the most wicked will enter it. 15 Who belieth and turneth away. 16 and from which the most godfearing shall be removed, 17 Who gives his wealth in order to be pure. 18 They do not expect any reward 19 except the pleasure of their Lord, the Most High 20 He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise). 21
