Surah Al-Layl (The Night) - Aya count 21
وَٱلَّیۡلِ إِذَا یَغۡشَىٰ ﴿١﴾
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ﴿٢﴾
By the Day as it appears in glory;
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰۤ ﴿٣﴾
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-
إِنَّ سَعۡیَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ ﴿٤﴾
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ ﴿٥﴾
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ﴿٦﴾
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,-
فَسَنُیَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡیُسۡرَىٰ ﴿٧﴾
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ ﴿٨﴾
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ﴿٩﴾
And gives the lie to the best,-
فَسَنُیَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ ﴿١٠﴾
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
وَمَا یُغۡنِی عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥۤ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰۤ ﴿١١﴾
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
إِنَّ عَلَیۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ ﴿١٢﴾
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡـَٔاخِرَةَ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ ﴿١٣﴾
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
فَأَنذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارࣰا تَلَظَّىٰ ﴿١٤﴾
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
لَا یَصۡلَىٰهَاۤ إِلَّا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى ﴿١٥﴾
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
ٱلَّذِی كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ﴿١٦﴾
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
وَسَیُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَتۡقَى ﴿١٧﴾
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,-
ٱلَّذِی یُؤۡتِی مَالَهُۥ یَتَزَكَّىٰ ﴿١٨﴾
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعۡمَةࣲ تُجۡزَىٰۤ ﴿١٩﴾
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَاۤءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ ﴿٢٠﴾
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
وَلَسَوۡفَ یَرۡضَىٰ ﴿٢١﴾
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
