The Night (Al-Layl)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the night when it covers the day, 1 By the day when it appeareth in glory, 2 and by that (Power) which created the male and female, 3 you strive in various ways. 4 As for him who gives and is godfearing 5 And believes in Al-Husna. 6 We shall ease the way of fortune for him. 7 but for him that is a miser, and sufficed, 8 and calls the ultimate good a lie 9 Unto him therefore We shall Indeed make easy the path to hardship. 10 His riches will not save him when he perisheth. 11 Surely, in Our hands is guidance, 12 and to Us belong the Next Life and the present. 13 I have now warned you of a Blazing Fire, 14 in which none shall be roasted except the most wretched sinner, 15 who have rejected the (Truth) and have turned away from it. 16 But save him who fears 17 Who gives his wealth in order to be pure. 18 And is under no one's obligation to return his favour, 19 seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High, 20 And indeed, soon he will be very pleased. 21
