Al-Layl
The Night
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent.
By the night when it covers all! By the day when it unveils itself! By what created the male and the female! Your efforts are surely dispersed.
واليل اذا يغشي والنهار اذا تجلي وما خلق الذكر والانثي ان سعيكم لشتي
As for the one who endows, and guards himself, and declares true the best — We will ease him toward ease.
فاما من اعطي واتقي وصدق بالحسني فسنيسره لليسري
But as for the one who is stingy, and considers himself self-sufficient, and denies the best — We will ease him toward hardship.
واما من بخل واستغني وكذب بالحسني فسنيسره للعسري
And his goods will not avail him when he falls.
وما يغني عنه ماله اذا تردي
Surely, upon Us is the guidance, and surely to Us belong the last life and the first.
ان علينا للهدي وان لنا للاخره والاولي
So I have warned you of a fire that flares, in which none will burn except the most wretched, who denied and turned his back.
فانذرتكم نارا تلظي لا يصليها الا الاشقي الذي كذب وتولي
And the most guarded will be kept at a distance from it, he who gives his goods to purify himself,
وسيجنبها الاتقي الذي يوتي ماله يتزكي
and no one has with him any blessing to be recompensed, except to seek the direction of his Guardian, the Most High.
وما لاحد عنده من نعمه تجزي الا ابتغا وجه ربه الاعلي
And he will surely soon be satisfied.
ولسوف يرضي
