الليل

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of God; The All-Gracious, The All-Merciful.

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ

By the night as it covers.

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

By the day as it brightens.

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ

By what created the male and the female.

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ

Your works are of various kinds.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ

As for the one who is charitable and righteous-

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ

-and embraces goodness,-

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

-We will direct him towards happiness.

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ

But the one who is stingy and rich-

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ

-and rejects goodness,-

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ

-We will direct him towards misery.

وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ

His money will never help him, once he falls.­

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ

Surely, it is Us who guides.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْـَٔاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ

To Us belongs the Hereafter as well as this life.

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ

Therefore, I warn you of a blazing Fire.

لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى

None shall burn therein except the wicked.

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

The one who rejected and turned away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى

Avoiding it shall be the righteous.

ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

The one who gives from his money in order to cleanse it.

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ

He wants nothing in return.

إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ

He seeks only the face of his Lord, The Exalted.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ

And he will soon be pleased.
