The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the night as it envelops; 1 and the day in splendour 2 and by the creation of the male and the female. 3 surely your striving is to diverse ends. 4 Then as for him who giveths and feareth Him. 5 And believes in the best [reward], 6 We will facilitate for him the easy end. 7 But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient. 8 and he belied the finest 9 We shall surely ease him to the Hardship; 10 his wealth shall not avail him when he perishes. 11 It is indeed for Us to show the way, 12 and to Us belong the Next Life and the present. 13 I have now warned you of a Blazing Fire, 14 in which no one will suffer forever except the wicked ones 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 not as payment for favours received, 19 He desires only to please his Lord, the Supreme. 20 And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction. 21
