The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the night when it envelopeth, 1 And the day resplendent 2 and by Him Who created the male and the female: 3 Indeed, your efforts are diverse. 4 For him that gives and fears (Allah) 5 and believes in the truth of what is right, 6 So We will very soon provide him ease. 7 But as for him who is niggardly, and thinks that he is self-sufficient, 8 and calls the ultimate good a lie 9 Surely We will ease his way unto adversity. 10 His riches will not save him when he perisheth. 11 Surely it is for Us to show the Right Way, 12 And indeed the Hereafter and this world both belong to Us. 13 and so I warn you of the raging fire 14 None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one. 15 Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back. 16 But save him who fears 17 [He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself 18 and confers no favor upon anyone for recompense 19 But only seeking the Countenance of his Lord the Most High. 20 Will surely be gratified. 21
