The Night (Al-Layl)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the night enshrouding 1 By the Day as it appears in glory; 2 And by Who created the male and female, 3 surely your strivings are divergent. 4 We shall facilitate the path to bliss 5 and believes in the truth of what is right, 6 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. 7 but for him that is a miser, and sufficed, 8 and rejects what is right, 9 We shall facilitate for him the way to Hardship, 10 and their wealth will be of no benefit to them when they face destruction. 11 BEHOLD, it is indeed for Us to grace [you] with guidance; 12 And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world). 13 Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely; 14 where none shall burn except the most wicked, 15 who have rejected the (Truth) and have turned away from it. 16 One who fears God shall be kept away from it -- 17 the Godfearing who spends his wealth to purify himself; 18 And no one has done a favour to him, for which he should be compensated. 19 Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High. 20 And indeed, soon he will be very pleased. 21
