The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the Night as it conceals (the light); 1 And the day when it shines in all its glory, 2 Consider the creation of the male and the female! 3 Indeed, your efforts are diverse. 4 We shall facilitate the path to bliss 5 and believes in the finest, 6 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. 7 but for him that is a miser, and sufficed, 8 And denies the best [reward], 9 We will facilitate for him the difficult end. 10 his wealth shall not avail him when he perishes. 11 Surely upon Us rests the guidance, 12 And verify Ours is both the Hereafter and the life present. 13 Wherefore I have warned you of Fire flaming, 14 none shall enter it but the most wicked, 15 Who denies and turns away. 16 But the God-fearing shall be kept away from it, 17 Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself 18 And none hath with him any favour for reward, 19 But only seeking the Countenance of his Lord the Most High. 20 He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise). 21
