The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the night enshrouding 1 and by the day as it appears radiantly, 2 and That which created the male and the female, 3 Verily your endeavour is diverse. 4 We shall facilitate the path to bliss 5 And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,- 6 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. 7 And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah), 8 and he belied the finest 9 for him shall We make easy the path towards hardship: 10 his wealth shall not avail him when he perishes. 11 Indeed, Guidance is Ours, 12 and to Us belong the hereafter and the worldly life. 13 Wherefore I have warned you of Fire flaming, 14 No one will burn in it but the most wretched, 15 who have rejected the (Truth) and have turned away from it. 16 But the God-fearing shall be kept away from it, 17 [He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself 18 And who hath no favour from anyone to recompense. 19 except the pleasure of their Lord, the Most High 20 and before long he will be well satisfied. 21
