The Night (Al-Layl)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By oath of the night when it covers 1 and the day in splendour 2 And by oath of the One Who created the male and the female. 3 you strive in various ways. 4 We shall facilitate the path to bliss 5 for those who spend for the cause of God, 6 We will ease him toward ease. 7 As for him who was a miser and behaved with aversion (to Allah), 8 And gives the lie to the best,- 9 For him We shall ease the way of adversity, 10 His riches will not save him when he perisheth. 11 Verify on us is the guidance 12 And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former. 13 I therefore warn you of the fire that is ablaze. 14 None except the most wicked will enter it. 15 The one who denied and turned away. 16 But the righteous one will avoid it - 17 even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself 18 and owes no favour to anyone, which is to be repaid, 19 except the pleasure of their Lord, the Most High 20 And indeed, soon he will be very pleased. 21
