The Night (Al-Layl)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the night when it enshrouds, 1 and the day as it rises bright! 2 And by Who created the male and female, 3 surely your striving is to diverse ends. 4 We shall facilitate the path to bliss 5 And believed the best matter to be true 6 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. 7 And for him who hoarded wealth and remained carefree, 8 And rejects goodness, 9 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery; 10 and their wealth will be of no benefit to them when they face destruction. 11 Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide, 12 and to Us belong the Next Life and the present. 13 I have now warned you of a Blazing Fire, 14 None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones 15 who belied and turned away, 16 But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,- 17 Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself 18 They do not expect any reward 19 Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High. 20 And indeed, soon he will be very pleased. 21
