The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the night when it covers the day, 1 and by the day when it unveils. 2 and by Him Who created the male and the female: 3 Indeed your efforts differ. 4 Then as for him who giveths and feareth Him. 5 for those who spend for the cause of God, 6 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. 7 And for him who hoarded wealth and remained carefree, 8 And rejects goodness, 9 For him We shall ease the way of adversity, 10 And what will his wealth benefit him when he goes down (in destruction). 11 Indeed, Guidance is Ours, 12 And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former. 13 So, I warn you of the blazing Fire. 14 None shall roast therein but the most wretched, 15 who denied [the truth], and turned away. 16 Far removed from it will be the righteous 17 who spend for the cause of God and purify themselves. 18 And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded 19 only seeking the Face of his Lord the Most High; 20 surely, he shall be satisfied. 21
