The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the night enshrouding 1 By the day when it appeareth in glory, 2 And Him who created the male and female, 3 Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends). 4 We shall facilitate the path to bliss 5 and believes in the truth of what is right, 6 So We will very soon provide him ease. 7 But as for one who is miserly and unheeding, 8 and cries lies to the reward most fair, 9 for him shall We make easy the path towards hardship: 10 and what will his wealth avail him when he goes down [to his grave]? 11 Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance 12 And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life]. 13 I have now warned you of a Blazing Fire, 14 in which no one will suffer forever except the wicked ones 15 Who denies and turns away. 16 Far removed from it will be the righteous 17 Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness). 18 not as payment for any favours that he received, 19 He desires only to please his Lord, the Supreme. 20 And he shall soon be well-pleased. 21
