The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the Night as it conceals (the light); 1 and the day in splendour 2 and by that (Power) which created the male and female, 3 Indeed your efforts differ. 4 Yet he who gives to others and has fear, 5 for those who spend for the cause of God, 6 We shall surely ease him to the Path of Easing; 7 But for those who are niggardly, horde their wealth, 8 And rejects the best, 9 We will make smooth for him the path for evil; 10 And what will his wealth benefit him when he goes down (in destruction). 11 Surely, it is for Us to provide guidance -- 12 And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former. 13 So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing. 14 None except the most wicked will enter it. 15 who belied and turned away, 16 He will be far away from the most pious. (The first Caliph S. Abu Bakr Siddiq) 17 Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness). 18 not as payment for favours received, 19 Except only the desire to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High; 20 And he is going to be satisfied. 21
