The Night (Al-Layl)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the Night as it conceals (the light); 1 And the day resplendent 2 By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;- 3 surely your strivings are divergent. 4 For him that gives and fears (Allah) 5 and believes in the finest, 6 We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness). 7 but for him that is a miser, and sufficed, 8 and calls the ultimate good a lie 9 We shall surely ease him to the Hardship; 10 His riches will not save him when he perisheth. 11 Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance. 12 and to Us belong the Next Life and the present. 13 Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames: 14 None shall enter it save the most wretched, 15 who rejected the Truth, calling it falsehood and turned his back on it. 16 But save him who fears 17 one who gives his wealth to become purified, 18 And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded 19 only seeking the Face of his Lord the Most High; 20 And indeed, soon he will be very pleased. 21
