The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By oath of the night when it covers 1 and the day in splendour 2 And by Him Who created male and female; 3 Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse. 4 As for he who gives and fears Allah 5 And believeth in goodness; 6 So We will very soon provide him ease. 7 And as for him who stinteth and is heedless, 8 And gives the lie to Al-Husna (see Verse No: 6 footnote); 9 For him We shall ease the way of adversity, 10 His wealth will not avail him when he falls into ruin. 11 Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance 12 and to Us belong the hereafter and the worldly life. 13 So, I warn you of the blazing Fire. 14 No one will burn in it but the most wretched, 15 He who denieth and turneth away. 16 and from which the most godfearing shall be removed, 17 who spend for the cause of God and purify themselves. 18 And is under no one's obligation to return his favour, 19 But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High. 20 He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise). 21
