Surah Al-Lail — الليل

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. 1وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰ

   By the night when it covers

2. 2وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

   And [by] the day when it appears

3. 3وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰۤ

   And [by] He who created the male and female,

4. 4إِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ

   Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

5. 5فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ

   As for he who gives and fears Allah

6. 6وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ

   And believes in the best [reward],

7. 7فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ

   We will ease him toward ease.

8. 8وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ

   But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

9. 9وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ

   And denies the best [reward],

10. 10فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ

    We will ease him toward difficulty.

11. 11وَمَا يُغۡنِی عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥۤ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰۤ

    And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

12. 12إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ

    Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

13. 13وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ

    And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

14. 14فَأَنذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارࣰا تَلَظَّىٰ

    So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

15. 15لَا يَصۡلَىٰهَاۤ إِلَّا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى

    None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.

16. 16ٱلَّذِی كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

    Who had denied and turned away.

17. 17وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَتۡقَى

    But the righteous one will avoid it -

18. 18ٱلَّذِی يُؤۡتِی مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

    [He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

19. 19وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعۡمَةࣲ تُجۡزَىٰۤ

    And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded

20. 20إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَاۤءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ

    But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.

21. 21وَلَسَوۡفَ يَرۡضَىٰ

    And he is going to be satisfied.
