Surah The night [Al-Lail] in English
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ ﴿١﴾
By the night, when it envelops,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ﴿٢﴾
and by the day when it unveils.
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ ﴿٣﴾
And by Who created the male and female,
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ ﴿٤﴾
your striving is indeed to different ends!
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ ﴿٥﴾
For him that gives and fears (Allah)
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ﴿٦﴾
and believes in the finest,
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ﴿٧﴾
We shall surely ease him to the Path of Easing;
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ﴿٨﴾
but for him that is a miser, and sufficed,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ﴿٩﴾
and he belied the finest
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ ﴿١٠﴾
We shall surely ease for him the Path of Hardship (the Fire).
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ ﴿١١﴾
When he falls (into Hell), his wealth will not help him.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ ﴿١٢﴾
Indeed, Guidance is Ours,
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿١٣﴾
and to Us belong the Last and the First.
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًۭا تَلَظَّىٰ ﴿١٤﴾
I have now warned you of the Blazing Fire,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى ﴿١٥﴾
in which none shall be roasted except the most wretched sinner,
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ﴿١٦﴾
who belied and turned away,
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى ﴿١٧﴾
and from which the cautious shall be distanced.
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ﴿١٨﴾
He who gives his wealth to be purified,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍۢ تُجْزَىٰٓ ﴿١٩﴾
and confers no favor upon anyone for recompense
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ﴿٢٠﴾
seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High,
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ ﴿٢١﴾
surely, he shall be satisfied.
