The Night (Al-Layl)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By oath of the night when it covers 1 by the day when it appears radiant, 2 And Him Who hath created male and female, 3 surely your strivings are divergent. 4 We shall facilitate the path to bliss 5 And believed the best matter to be true 6 We shall ease the way of fortune for him. 7 but for him that is a miser, and sufficed, 8 and he belied the finest 9 We will facilitate for him the difficult end. 10 And his riches will not avail him when he falls headlong (into the Abyss). 11 Indeed guiding is upon Us. 12 And verify Ours is both the Hereafter and the life present. 13 I have warned you then about a raging Fire: 14 where none shall burn except the most wicked, 15 Who had denied and turned away. 16 He will be far away from the most pious. (The first Caliph S. Abu Bakr Siddiq) 17 Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness). 18 And have in his mind no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return, 19 seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High, 20 And indeed, soon he will be very pleased. 21
