The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the night when it envelopeth, 1 And the day resplendent 2 And Him Who hath created male and female, 3 O men, you truly strive towards the most diverse ends! 4 We shall facilitate the path to bliss 5 and believes in the finest, 6 We will facilitate for him the easy end. 7 And for him who hoarded wealth and remained carefree, 8 and have no faith in receiving any reward (from God). 9 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery; 10 Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit). 11 Indeed, Guidance is Ours, 12 and to Us belong the Next Life and the present. 13 Therefore I have warned you of a Fire blazing fiercely (Hell); 14 in which no one will suffer forever except the wicked ones 15 even he who cried lies, and turned away; 16 And avoid it shall the most pious, 17 [He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself 18 And none hath with him any favour for reward, 19 Except only the desire to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High; 20 He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise). 21
