The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the night when it covers 1 And by oath of the day when it shines 2 By Him Who hath created the male and the female, 3 Indeed your efforts differ. 4 We shall facilitate the path to bliss 5 for those who spend for the cause of God, 6 We shall ease the way of fortune for him. 7 And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah), 8 And rejects goodness, 9 So We will very soon provide him hardship. 10 And what will his wealth benefit him when he goes down (in destruction). 11 Truly! Ours it is (to give) guidance, 12 and to Us belong the Next Life and the present. 13 I have now warned you of the Blazing Fire, 14 None shall roast therein but the most wretched, 15 who have rejected the (Truth) and have turned away from it. 16 But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,- 17 And gives of his wealth that he may grow in virtue, 18 And who hath no favour from anyone to recompense. 19 But only seeking the Countenance of his Lord the Most High. 20 He will surely be well-pleased (with him). 21
