The Night (Al-Layl)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
CONSIDER the night as it veils [the earth] in darkness, 1 and the day as it rises bright! 2 And [by] He who created the male and female, 3 Indeed your efforts differ. 4 As for him who gives and is godfearing 5 And believes in Al-Husna. 6 We will ease him toward ease. 7 And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah), 8 and he belied the finest 9 We will ease him toward difficulty. 10 Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit). 11 Surely upon Us rests the guidance, 12 And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life]. 13 I have warned you about the fierce blazing fire 14 whereat none but the most wretched shall be roasted, 15 Who had denied and turned away. 16 Far removed from it will be the righteous 17 Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness). 18 and confers no favour on any man for recompense, 19 seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High, 20 And indeed, soon he will be very pleased. 21
