The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the Night as it conceals (the light); 1 And by the day as it appears in brightness; 2 and by that (Power) which created the male and female, 3 That your endeavour is for different ends. 4 Then as for him who giveths and feareth Him. 5 and believes in the truth of what is right, 6 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. 7 But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent, 8 And rejects goodness, 9 We shall facilitate the path to affliction 10 his wealth shall not avail him when he perishes. 11 Indeed guiding is upon Us. 12 and to Us belong the hereafter and the worldly life. 13 I have warned you then about a raging Fire: 14 None shall enter it but the most unhappy, 15 who denied [the truth], and turned away. 16 But save him who fears 17 [He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself 18 And no one has done a favour to him, for which he should be compensated. 19 only seeking the Face of his Lord the Most High; 20 And he is going to be satisfied. 21
