The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the Night as it conceals (the light); 1 and by the day when it unveils. 2 And [by] He who created the male and female, 3 O men, you truly strive towards the most diverse ends! 4 As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah) 5 And believes in Al-Husna. 6 We will facilitate for him the easy end. 7 But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent, 8 and have no faith in receiving any reward (from God). 9 We shall surely ease him to the Hardship; 10 and their wealth will be of no benefit to them when they face destruction. 11 Surely, it is for Us to provide guidance -- 12 and to Us belong the Last and the First. 13 So, I warn you of the blazing Fire. 14 whereat none but the most wretched shall be roasted, 15 Who denies and turns away. 16 One who fears God shall be kept away from it -- 17 one who gives his wealth to become purified, 18 They do not expect any reward 19 Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High. 20 and the reward (of their Lord) will certainly make them happy. 21
