The Night (Al-Layl)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the night, when it envelops, 1 And the day resplendent 2 and by the creation of the male and the female. 3 you strive in various ways. 4 As for he who gives and fears Allah 5 for those who spend for the cause of God, 6 We shall surely ease him to the Easing. 7 And for him who hoarded wealth and remained carefree, 8 And rejects the best, 9 Surely We will ease his way unto adversity. 10 And what will his wealth avail him when he falls? 11 BEHOLD, it is indeed for Us to grace [you] with guidance; 12 And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world). 13 I therefore warn you of the fire that is ablaze. 14 No one will burn in it but the most wretched, 15 Who denied (the truth) and turned away. 16 Far removed from it will be the righteous 17 he that spends his possessions [on others] so that he might grow in purity 18 And have in his mind no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return, 19 seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High, 20 And indeed, soon he will be very pleased. 21
