The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the night when it covers the day, 1 By the day when it appeareth in glory, 2 And Him Who hath created male and female, 3 you strive in various ways. 4 Then as for him who giveths and feareth Him. 5 and believes in the finest, 6 We will facilitate for him the easy end. 7 But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient, 8 and rejects what is right, 9 We shall facilitate the path to affliction 10 His riches will not save him when he perisheth. 11 Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance 12 And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world). 13 I have warned you then about a raging Fire: 14 None except the most wicked will enter it. 15 Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs. 16 But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,- 17 And gives of his wealth that he may grow in virtue, 18 And who hath no favour from anyone to recompense. 19 except the pleasure of their Lord, the Most High 20 And presently he shall become well pleased. 21
