The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the night enshrouding 1 By the Day as it appears in glory; 2 Consider the creation of the male and the female! 3 you strive in various ways. 4 As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah) 5 And believeth in goodness; 6 We shall ease the way of fortune for him. 7 But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent, 8 And rejects the best, 9 For him We shall ease the way of adversity, 10 and his wealth shall be of no avail to him when he perishes. 11 Surely it is for Us to show the Right Way, 12 and to Us belong the Last and the First. 13 and so I warn you of the raging fire 14 None except the most wicked will enter it. 15 Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs. 16 He will be far away from the most pious. (The first Caliph S. Abu Bakr Siddiq) 17 the Godfearing who spends his wealth to purify himself; 18 not as payment for any favours that he received, 19 Other than seeking the glory of his Lord, most high, 20 He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise). 21
