The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the night when it covers the day, 1 And the day when it shines in brightness, 2 and by the creation of the male and the female. 3 Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse. 4 As for him who gave out his wealth (for Allah's sake) and abstained (from disobeying Him), 5 And affirms goodness, 6 Unto him therefore We shall indeed make easy the path to ease. 7 But he who does not give and is unconcerned, 8 And disbelieveth in goodness; 9 We will facilitate for him the difficult end. 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 to Us belong the Next Life and the present. 13 I have now warned you of a Blazing Fire, 14 None shall enter it but the most unhappy, 15 who denied [the truth], and turned away. 16 But the God-fearing shall be kept away from it, 17 He who gives his wealth to be purified, 18 and confers no favour on any man for recompense, 19 But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High; 20 He verily will be content. 21
