The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the night enshrouding 1 And the day when it shines in brightness, 2 And Him who created the male and female, 3 Verily your endeavour is diverse. 4 So for one who gave and practised piety 5 And believes in Al-Husna. 6 We shall surely ease him to the Path of Easing; 7 but for him that is a miser, and sufficed, 8 and calls the ultimate good a lie 9 We will facilitate for him the difficult end. 10 and their wealth will be of no benefit to them when they face destruction. 11 It is indeed for Us to show the way, 12 and to Us belong the Last and the First. 13 I therefore warn you of the fire that is ablaze. 14 None except the most wicked will enter it. 15 He who denieth and turneth away. 16 But the God-fearing shall be kept away from it, 17 Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness). 18 And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return, 19 but only to seek the good pleasure of his Lord Most High. 20 He will surely be well-pleased (with him). 21
