Al-Lail — The Night

By the night when it covers

And [by] the day when it appears

And [by] He who created the male and female,

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

As for he who gives and fears Allah

And believes in the best [reward],

We will ease him toward ease.

But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

And denies the best [reward],

We will ease him toward difficulty.

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.

Who had denied and turned away.

But the righteous one will avoid it -

[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded

But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
