The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the night enshrouding 1 By the Day as it appears in glory; 2 By Him Who hath created the male and the female, 3 you strive in various ways. 4 As for him who gives and is godfearing 5 And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,- 6 We shall surely ease him to the Easing. 7 But as for one who is miserly and unheeding, 8 and have no faith in receiving any reward (from God). 9 We shall facilitate the path to affliction 10 His riches will not save him when he perisheth. 11 It is indeed for Us to show the way, 12 And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former. 13 Wherefore I have warned you of Fire flaming, 14 None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one. 15 The one who denied and turned away. 16 The pious ones will be safe from this fire 17 He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification, 18 and owes no favour to anyone, which is to be repaid, 19 Other than seeking the glory of his Lord, most high, 20 surely, he shall be satisfied. 21
