The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the night when it envelopeth, 1 and by the day when it unveils. 2 And by oath of the One Who created the male and the female. 3 you strive in various ways. 4 Thus, as for him who gives [to others] and is conscious of God, 5 and confirms the reward most fair, 6 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. 7 But for those who are niggardly, horde their wealth, 8 And gives the lie to the best,- 9 We will make smooth for him the path for evil; 10 And what will his wealth avail him when he falls? 11 Verify on us is the guidance 12 And indeed the Hereafter and this world both belong to Us. 13 Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely; 14 whereat none but the most wretched shall be roasted, 15 Who denies and turns away. 16 He will be far away from the most pious. (The first Caliph S. Abu Bakr Siddiq) 17 [He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself 18 and owes no favour to anyone, which is to be repaid, 19 seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High, 20 He verily will be content. 21
