Surah Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya count 21
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰ ﰀ ﴿١﴾
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ﰁ ﴿٢﴾
By the Day as it appears in glory;
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ ﰂ ﴿٣﴾
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-
إِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ ﰃ ﴿٤﴾
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ ﰄ ﴿٥﴾
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ﰅ ﴿٦﴾
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,-
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ ﰆ ﴿٧﴾
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ ﰇ ﴿٨﴾
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ﰈ ﴿٩﴾
And gives the lie to the best,-
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ ﰉ ﴿١٠﴾
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
وَمَا يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ ﰊ ﴿١١﴾
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ ﰋ ﴿١٢﴾
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ ﰌ ﴿١٣﴾
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
فَأَنذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارٗا تَلَظَّىٰ ﰍ ﴿١٤﴾
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
لَا يَصۡلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى ﰎ ﴿١٥﴾
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
ٱلَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ﰏ ﴿١٦﴾
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَتۡقَى ﰐ ﴿١٧﴾
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,-
ٱلَّذِي يُؤۡتِي مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ﰑ ﴿١٨﴾
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعۡمَةٖ تُجۡزَىٰٓ ﰒ ﴿١٩﴾
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَآءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ ﰓ ﴿٢٠﴾
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
وَلَسَوۡفَ يَرۡضَىٰ ﰔ ﴿٢١﴾
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
