The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the night when it covers the day, 1 by the day when it appears radiant, 2 And by oath of the One Who created the male and the female. 3 surely your strivings are divergent. 4 Yet he who gives to others and has fear, 5 And believes in the best [reward], 6 Unto him therefore We shall indeed make easy the path to ease. 7 But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient, 8 and he belied the finest 9 We shall surely ease him to the Hardship; 10 his wealth shall not avail him when he perishes. 11 BEHOLD, it is indeed for Us to grace [you] with guidance; 12 And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former. 13 Now I have warned you of a Fire that flames, 14 none shall enter it but the most wicked, 15 who gives the lie to the truth and turns away [from it]. 16 For, distant from it shall remain he who is truly conscious of God: 17 And gives of his wealth that he may grow in virtue, 18 And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return, 19 but only to seek the good pleasure of his Lord Most High. 20 And presently he shall become well pleased. 21
