Al-Layl

¹By the night when it covers[1937]

²And [by] the day when it appears

³And [by] He who created the male and female,

⁴Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

⁵As for he who gives and fears Allāh

⁶And believes in the best [reward].

⁷We will ease him toward ease.

⁸But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

⁹And denies the best [reward],

¹⁰We will ease him toward difficulty.

¹¹And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?[1938]

¹²Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

¹³And indeed, to us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

¹⁴So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

¹⁵None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one

¹⁶Who had denied and turned away.

¹⁷But the righteous one will avoid it –

¹⁸[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

¹⁹And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded[1939] –

²⁰But only seeking the face [i.e., acceptance] of his Lord, Most High.

²¹And he is going to be satisfied.
