The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By oath of the night when it covers 1 By the Day as it appears in glory; 2 By Him Who hath created the male and the female, 3 you strive in various ways. 4 As for him who gives and is godfearing 5 And accepts the best, 6 We will ease him toward ease. 7 As for him who was a miser and behaved with aversion (to Allah), 8 And gives the lie to the best,- 9 Surely We will ease his way unto adversity. 10 nor will his wealth profit him when he falls [into the pit]. 11 It is indeed for Us to show the way, 12 and to Us belong the Last and the First. 13 So, I warn you of the blazing Fire. 14 Which only the most wretched must endure, 15 The one who denied and turned away. 16 Far removed from it will be the righteous 17 one who gives his wealth to become purified, 18 And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded, 19 He desires only to please his Lord, the Supreme. 20 and the reward (of their Lord) will certainly make them happy. 21
