The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the night enshrouding 1 And the day resplendent 2 and That which created the male and the female, 3 Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse. 4 As for him who gives and is godfearing 5 And accepts the best, 6 for him shall We make easy the path towards [ultimate] ease. 7 As for him who was a miser and behaved with aversion (to Allah), 8 And rejects goodness, 9 We shall pave his way to hardship, 10 And what will his wealth benefit him when he goes down (in destruction). 11 Indeed, Guidance is Ours, 12 And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world). 13 I have now warned you of a Blazing Fire, 14 none shall enter it but the most wicked, 15 even he who cried lies, and turned away; 16 But the righteous one will avoid it - 17 even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself 18 And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded 19 seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High, 20 He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise). 21
