The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the night, when it envelops, 1 and by the day when it unveils. 2 And Him Who hath created male and female, 3 Indeed your efforts differ. 4 For him that gives and fears (Allah) 5 And believeth in goodness; 6 We shall ease the way of fortune for him. 7 But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need 8 And disbelieveth in goodness; 9 We shall surely ease for him the Path of Hardship (the Fire). 10 When he falls (into Hell), his wealth will not help him. 11 BEHOLD, it is indeed for Us to grace [you] with guidance; 12 and to Us belong the Last and the First. 13 I have now warned you of the Blazing Fire, 14 None except the most wicked will enter it. 15 Who denied (the truth) and turned away. 16 He will be far away from the most pious. (The first Caliph S. Abu Bakr Siddiq) 17 he that spends his possessions [on others] so that he might grow in purity 18 And is under no one's obligation to return his favour, 19 seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High, 20 And he is going to be satisfied. 21
