The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the night when it enshrouds, 1 and by the day as it appears radiantly, 2 and by the creation of the male and the female. 3 surely your striving is to diverse ends. 4 As for one who gives [to others] and fears [God], 5 And believed the best matter to be true 6 We shall surely ease him to the Path of Easing; 7 But as for one who is miserly and unheeding, 8 and cries lies to the reward most fair, 9 Unto him therefore We shall Indeed make easy the path to hardship. 10 his wealth shall not avail him when he perishes. 11 Surely it is for Us to show the Right Way, 12 and, behold, Ours is [the dominion over] the life to come as well as [over] this earlier part [of your life]: 13 Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely; 14 where none shall burn except the most wicked, 15 He who denieth and turneth away. 16 But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,- 17 Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness). 18 And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded, 19 Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High. 20 surely, he shall be satisfied. 21
