The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the night when it covers the day, 1 and the day as it rises bright! 2 And by Who created the male and female, 3 Indeed, your efforts are diverse. 4 As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah) 5 and believes in the finest, 6 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. 7 But he who does not give and is unconcerned, 8 And disbelieveth in goodness; 9 For him We shall ease the way of adversity, 10 When he falls (into Hell), his wealth will not help him. 11 It is indeed for Us to show the way, 12 And to Us belong the End and the Beginning. 13 and so I warn you of the raging fire 14 None shall enter it but the most unhappy, 15 He who denieth and turneth away. 16 For, distant from it shall remain he who is truly conscious of God: 17 even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself 18 And have in his mind no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return, 19 Other than seeking the glory of his Lord, most high, 20 and he shall surely be satisfied. 21
