The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the night when it envelopeth, 1 and by the day as it appears radiantly, 2 and That which created the male and the female, 3 Certainly, your efforts and deeds are diverse (different in aims and purposes); 4 As for him who gives and is godfearing 5 and believes in the finest, 6 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. 7 But as for one who is miserly and unheeding, 8 And gives the lie to Al-Husna (see Verse No: 6 footnote); 9 For him We shall ease the way of adversity, 10 and his wealth shall be of no avail to him when he perishes. 11 Indeed, Guidance is Ours, 12 And verify Ours is both the Hereafter and the life present. 13 So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing. 14 None shall enter it save the most wretched, 15 Who denies and turns away. 16 and from which the cautious shall be distanced. 17 one who gives his wealth to become purified, 18 And is under no one's obligation to return his favour, 19 seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High, 20 and he shall surely be satisfied. 21
