The Night (Al-Layl)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the night as it veils [the earth] in darkness, 1 and by the day when it breaks in its glory, 2 And by Who created the male and female, 3 Indeed, your efforts are diverse. 4 As for him who gives and is godfearing 5 And believes in Al-Husna. 6 We will facilitate for him the easy end. 7 But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need 8 and denied the Truth of goodness: 9 So We will very soon provide him hardship. 10 When he falls (into Hell), his wealth will not help him. 11 Surely it is for Us to show the Right Way, 12 and, behold, Ours is [the dominion over] the life to come as well as [over] this earlier part [of your life]: 13 Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames: 14 in which none shall be roasted except the most wretched sinner, 15 Who denies and turns away. 16 And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil), 17 And gives of his wealth that he may grow in virtue, 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
