The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the night when it covers 1 And the day when it shines in brightness, 2 And by Who created the male and female, 3 O men, you truly strive towards the most diverse ends! 4 As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him, 5 And accepts the best, 6 We will facilitate for him the easy end. 7 And as for him who stinteth and is heedless, 8 And denied the best matter, 9 We will ease him toward difficulty. 10 And what will his wealth avail him when he falls? 11 Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance. 12 And verify Ours is both the Hereafter and the life present. 13 Wherefore I have warned you of Fire flaming, 14 where none shall burn except the most wicked, 15 Who denied (the truth) and turned away. 16 But save him who fears 17 Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself 18 And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded 19 But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High. 20 And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction. 21
