The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the night as it envelops; 1 And the day when it shines in all its glory, 2 By Him Who hath created the male and the female, 3 Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse. 4 Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil), 5 And believes in Al-Husna. 6 We will ease him toward ease. 7 But for those who are niggardly, horde their wealth, 8 And who belieth the Good, 9 We shall pave his way to hardship, 10 His riches will not save him when he perisheth. 11 Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide, 12 And verify Ours is both the Hereafter and the life present. 13 I have warned you then about a raging Fire: 14 None except the most wicked will enter it. 15 Who denies and turns away. 16 and from which the cautious shall be distanced. 17 the Godfearing who spends his wealth to purify himself; 18 and owes no favour to anyone, which is to be repaid, 19 But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High. 20 and the reward (of their Lord) will certainly make them happy. 21
