The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By oath of the night when it covers 1 By the Day as it appears in glory; 2 and by Him Who created the male and the female: 3 Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends). 4 For him that gives and fears (Allah) 5 And believes in Al-Husna. 6 We shall ease the way of fortune for him. 7 And as for him who stinteth and is heedless, 8 And who belieth the Good, 9 For him We shall ease the way of adversity, 10 nor will his wealth profit him when he falls [into the pit]. 11 BEHOLD, it is indeed for Us to grace [you] with guidance; 12 and to Us belongs the Hereafter as well as the present world -- 13 I have warned you about the fierce blazing fire 14 [the fire] which none shall have to endure but that most hapless wretch 15 The one who denied and turned away. 16 But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,- 17 the Godfearing who spends his wealth to purify himself; 18 And who hath no favour from anyone to recompense. 19 but only out of a longing for the countenance of his Sustainer, the All-Highest: 20 He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise). 21
