The Night (Al-Layl)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By oath of the night when it covers 1 And the day when it shines in all its glory, 2 and That which created the male and the female, 3 Indeed, your efforts are diverse. 4 As for him who gives and is godfearing 5 and believes in the truth of what is right, 6 Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease. 7 But he who does not give and is unconcerned, 8 and he belied the finest 9 We shall surely ease him to the Hardship; 10 And what will his wealth benefit him when he goes down (in destruction). 11 Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance 12 And verify Ours is both the Hereafter and the life present. 13 So, I warn you of the blazing Fire. 14 None shall roast therein but the most wretched, 15 Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs. 16 For, distant from it shall remain he who is truly conscious of God: 17 Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself 18 not as payment for any favours that he received, 19 Except only the desire to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High; 20 And indeed, soon he will be very pleased. 21
