Al-Lail

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ ۝١

By the night enshrouding

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ۝٢

And the day resplendent

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ ۝٣

And Him Who hath created male and female,

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ ۝٤

Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ ۝٥

As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ۝٦

And believeth in goodness;

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ۝٧

Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ۝٨

But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ۝٩

And disbelieveth in goodness;

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ ۝١٠

Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.

وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ ۝١١

His riches will not save him when he perisheth.

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ ۝١٢

Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْـَٔاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ ۝١٣

And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ ۝١٤

Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire

لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى ۝١٥

Which only the most wretched must endure,

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ۝١٦

He who denieth and turneth away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى ۝١٧

Far removed from it will be the righteous

ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ۝١٨

Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ ۝١٩

And none hath with him any favour for reward,

إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ۝٢٠

Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ ۝٢١

He verily will be content.
