The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the Night as it conceals (the light); 1 by the day when it appears radiant, 2 And Him who created the male and female, 3 O men, you truly strive towards the most diverse ends! 4 As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah) 5 And accepts the best, 6 Unto him therefore We shall indeed make easy the path to ease. 7 And for him who hoarded wealth and remained carefree, 8 and rejects what is right, 9 We will ease him toward difficulty. 10 When he falls (into Hell), his wealth will not help him. 11 Surely, in Our hands is guidance, 12 and to Us belong the Last and the First. 13 Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire 14 where none shall burn except the most wicked, 15 Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs. 16 And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil), 17 Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself 18 And is under no one's obligation to return his favour, 19 except the pleasure of their Lord, the Most High 20 surely, he shall be satisfied. 21
