The Night (Al-Layl)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the night as it veils [the earth] in darkness, 1 and by the day when it unveils. 2 And the creating of the male and the female, 3 your striving is indeed to different ends! 4 We shall facilitate the path to bliss 5 and believes in the truth of the ultimate good 6 We will pave his way to ease. 7 And for him who hoarded wealth and remained carefree, 8 and he belied the finest 9 We shall facilitate the path to affliction 10 his wealth shall not avail him when he perishes. 11 Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide, 12 And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning. 13 Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire 14 in which none shall be roasted except the most wretched sinner, 15 even he who cried lies, and turned away; 16 Far removed from it will be the righteous 17 He who gives his wealth to be purified, 18 And have in his mind no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return, 19 He desires only to please his Lord, the Supreme. 20 And indeed, soon he will be very pleased. 21
