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 يغشى والنهار اذا تجلى وما خلق الذكر والانثى ان سعيكم لشتى
As for the one who endows, and guards himself, and declares true the best — We will ease him toward ease.
فاما من اعطى واتقى وصدق بالحسنى فسنيسره لليسرى
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 واستغنى وكذب بالحسنى فسنيسره للعسرى
And his goods will not avail him when he falls.
وما يغني عنه ماله اذا تردى
Surely, upon Us is the guidance, and surely to Us belong the last life and the first.
ان علينا للهدى وان لنا للءاخرة والاولى
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 تلظى لا يصلىها الا الاشقى الذي كذب وتولى
And the most guarded will be kept at a distance from it, he who gives his goods to purify himself,
وسيجنبها الاتقى الذي يوتي ماله يتزكى
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 نعمة تجزى الا ابتغاء وجه ربه الاعلى
And he will surely soon be satisfied.
ولسوف يرضى
