The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the night as it envelops; 1 And [by] the day when it appears 2 and by that (Power) which created the male and female, 3 Indeed, your efforts are diverse. 4 Yet he who gives to others and has fear, 5 and confirms the reward most fair, 6 Unto him therefore We shall indeed make easy the path to ease. 7 But he who does not give and is unconcerned, 8 And rejects the best, 9 For him We shall ease the way of adversity, 10 And what will his wealth benefit him when he goes down (in destruction). 11 Surely Ours is it to show the way, 12 And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life]. 13 I have warned you then about a raging Fire: 14 [the fire] which none shall have to endure but that most hapless wretch 15 Who denied (the truth) and turned away. 16 For, distant from it shall remain he who is truly conscious of God: 17 He who gives his wealth to be purified, 18 not as payment for favours received, 19 Other than seeking the glory of his Lord, most high, 20 He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise). 21
