The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the night when it covers the day, 1 and by the day when it unveils. 2 and by that (Power) which created the male and female, 3 That your endeavour is for different ends. 4 Yet he who gives to others and has fear, 5 And testifieth to the Good, 6 So We will very soon provide him ease. 7 But as for him who is niggardly, and thinks that he is self-sufficient, 8 And disbelieveth in goodness; 9 We shall facilitate the path to affliction 10 Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit). 11 It is indeed for Us to show the way, 12 and to Us belongs the Hereafter as well as the present world -- 13 Therefore I have warned you of a Fire blazing fiercely (Hell); 14 None except the most wicked will enter it. 15 Who belieth and turneth away. 16 But save him who fears 17 one who gives his wealth to become purified, 18 not as payment for favours received, 19 Other than seeking the glory of his Lord, most high, 20 and he shall surely be satisfied. 21
