The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the night when it covers 1 And [by] the day when it appears 2 And by oath of the One Who created the male and the female. 3 Verily, [O men,] you aim at most divergent ends! 4 So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah), 5 And believes in Al-Husna. 6 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. 7 But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need 8 And who belieth the Good, 9 We shall facilitate for him the way to Hardship, 10 nor will his wealth profit him when he falls [into the pit]. 11 Surely Ours is it to show the way, 12 and to Us belong the Last and the First. 13 I have warned you about the fierce blazing fire 14 where none shall burn except the most wicked, 15 Who had denied and turned away. 16 and from which the most godfearing shall be removed, 17 who spend for the cause of God and purify themselves. 18 And is under no one's obligation to return his favour, 19 seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High, 20 surely, he shall be satisfied. 21
