The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the night when it enshrouds, 1 And by oath of the day when it shines 2 And [by] He who created the male and female, 3 Indeed your efforts differ. 4 Then as for him who giveths and feareth Him. 5 And believes in Al-Husna. 6 We shall surely ease him to the Easing. 7 But as for him who is niggardly, and thinks that he is self-sufficient, 8 And denied the best matter, 9 We will facilitate for him the difficult end. 10 And what will his wealth avail him when he falls? 11 Indeed, Guidance is Ours, 12 And indeed the Hereafter and this world both belong to Us. 13 Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely; 14 No one will burn in it but the most wretched, 15 Who denied (the truth) and turned away. 16 And avoid it shall the most pious, 17 even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself 18 And who hath no favour from anyone to recompense. 19 only seeking the Face of his Lord the Most High; 20 And presently he shall become well pleased. 21
