The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the night as it veils [the earth] in darkness, 1 And the day when it shines in all its glory, 2 And by oath of the One Who created the male and the female. 3 Indeed your efforts differ. 4 As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him, 5 and affirmed the Truth of goodness: 6 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. 7 But he who does not give and is unconcerned, 8 And gives the lie to Al-Husna (see Verse No: 6 footnote); 9 Unto him therefore We shall Indeed make easy the path to hardship. 10 and his wealth shall be of no avail to him when he perishes. 11 It is indeed for Us to show the way, 12 And indeed the Hereafter and this world both belong to Us. 13 Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire 14 None except the most wicked will enter it. 15 Who belieth and turneth away. 16 Far removed from it will be the righteous 17 one who gives his wealth to become purified, 18 and confers no favor upon anyone for recompense 19 But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High. 20 And he shall soon be well-pleased. 21
