The Night (Al-Layl)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the night, when it envelops, 1 and by the day when it breaks in its glory, 2 By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;- 3 Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends). 4 As for he who gives and fears Allah 5 and believes in the truth of the ultimate good 6 We shall ease the way of fortune for him. 7 but for him that is a miser, and sufficed, 8 And denied the best matter, 9 We will facilitate for him the difficult end. 10 And what will his wealth benefit him when he goes down (in destruction). 11 Verify on us is the guidance 12 And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning. 13 Wherefore I have warned you of Fire flaming, 14 None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones 15 Who had denied and turned away. 16 But the righteous one will avoid it - 17 Who giveth away his substance that he may be cleansed, 18 and confers no favor upon anyone for recompense 19 seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High, 20 And indeed, soon he will be very pleased. 21
