The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
I swear by the night when it draws a veil, 1 And the day resplendent 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 believes in Al-Husna. 6 We shall facilitate for him the Way to Bliss. 7 As for him who was a miser and behaved with aversion (to Allah), 8 And denied the best matter, 9 We shall pave his way to hardship, 10 His riches will not save him when he perisheth. 11 Indeed guiding is upon Us. 12 And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning. 13 Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames: 14 in which no one will suffer forever except the wicked ones 15 who denied [the truth], and turned away. 16 The pious ones will be safe from this fire 17 He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification, 18 And who hath no favour from anyone to recompense. 19 except the pleasure of their Lord, the Most High 20 And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction. 21
