The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By oath of the night when it covers 1 and the day in splendour 2 and That which created the male and the female, 3 your striving is indeed to different ends! 4 We shall facilitate the path to bliss 5 and believes in the finest, 6 We will ease him toward ease. 7 But as for one who is miserly and unheeding, 8 And gives the lie to Al-Husna (see Verse No: 6 footnote); 9 We shall surely ease for him the Path of Hardship (the Fire). 10 His riches will not save him when he perisheth. 11 Surely, in Our hands is guidance, 12 and to Us belong the Next Life and the present. 13 Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire 14 None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one. 15 Who denies and turns away. 16 The pious ones will be safe from this fire 17 even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself 18 They do not expect any reward 19 acting only for the sake of his Lord the Most High -- 20 surely, he shall be satisfied. 21
