The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the night when it covers the day, 1 And [by] the day when it appears 2 And [by] He who created the male and female, 3 surely your strivings are divergent. 4 So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah), 5 And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,- 6 We shall ease the way of fortune for him. 7 But he who does not give and is unconcerned, 8 And who belieth the Good, 9 We will make smooth for him the path for evil; 10 When he falls (into Hell), his wealth will not help him. 11 Surely, it is for Us to provide guidance -- 12 And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former. 13 Now I have warned you of a Fire that flames, 14 in which none shall be roasted except the most wretched sinner, 15 who rejected the Truth, calling it falsehood and turned his back on it. 16 He will be far away from the most pious. (The first Caliph S. Abu Bakr Siddiq) 17 Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself 18 And none hath with him any favour for reward, 19 But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High. 20 and before long he will be well satisfied. 21
