The Night (Al-Layl)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the night when it covers the day, 1 and by the day when it breaks in its glory, 2 And by oath of the One Who created the male and the female. 3 surely your striving is to diverse ends. 4 For him that gives and fears (Allah) 5 and believes in the truth of what is right, 6 We will pave his way to ease. 7 But as for one who is miserly and unheeding, 8 and he belied the finest 9 We will ease him toward difficulty. 10 His wealth will not avail him when he falls into ruin. 11 It is indeed for Us to show the way, 12 and, behold, Ours is [the dominion over] the life to come as well as [over] this earlier part [of your life]: 13 Wherefore I have warned you of Fire flaming, 14 none shall enter it but the most wicked, 15 who denied [the truth], and turned away. 16 But the God-fearing shall be kept away from it, 17 who spend for the cause of God and purify themselves. 18 and owes no favour to anyone, which is to be repaid, 19 except the pleasure of their Lord, the Most High 20 And indeed, soon he will be very pleased. 21
