The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I CALL THE night to witness when it covers over, 1 And the day when it shines in all its glory, 2 and by that (Power) which created the male and female, 3 Indeed, your efforts are diverse. 4 So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah), 5 and affirmed the Truth of goodness: 6 So We will very soon provide him ease. 7 But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient. 8 and denied the Truth of goodness: 9 We shall surely ease him to the Hardship; 10 and his wealth shall be of no avail to him when he perishes. 11 BEHOLD, it is indeed for Us to grace [you] with guidance; 12 and to Us belongs the Hereafter as well as the present world -- 13 Wherefore I have warned you of Fire flaming, 14 None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one. 15 Who had denied and turned away. 16 But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,- 17 Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself 18 And no one has done a favour to him, for which he should be compensated. 19 He desires only to please his Lord, the Supreme. 20 And he is going to be satisfied. 21
