The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the night when it covers the day, 1 and by the day when it unveils. 2 By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;- 3 Indeed your efforts differ. 4 As for he who gives and fears Allah 5 And believes in the best [reward], 6 Unto him therefore We shall indeed make easy the path to ease. 7 But as for one who is miserly and unheeding, 8 And rejects the best, 9 We will ease him toward difficulty. 10 And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes. 11 Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance. 12 and, behold, Ours is [the dominion over] the life to come as well as [over] this earlier part [of your life]: 13 and so I warn you of the raging fire 14 None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one. 15 who belied and turned away, 16 The pious ones will be safe from this fire 17 [He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself 18 and owes no favour to anyone, which is to be repaid, 19 but only to seek the good pleasure of his Lord Most High. 20 He verily will be content. 21
