The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the Night as it conceals (the light); 1 And the day resplendent 2 and by that (Power) which created the male and female, 3 Verily, [O men,] you aim at most divergent ends! 4 For him that gives and fears (Allah) 5 And affirms goodness, 6 observe piety, and believe in receiving rewards from God. 7 And as for him who stinteth and is heedless, 8 And who belieth the Good, 9 So We will very soon provide him hardship. 10 Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit). 11 Verify on us is the guidance 12 And verify Ours is both the Hereafter and the life present. 13 I have now warned you of the Blazing Fire, 14 whereat none but the most wretched shall be roasted, 15 who rejected the Truth, calling it falsehood and turned his back on it. 16 He will be far away from the most pious. (The first Caliph S. Abu Bakr Siddiq) 17 the Godfearing who spends his wealth to purify himself; 18 And is under no one's obligation to return his favour, 19 except the pleasure of their Lord, the Most High 20 He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise). 21
