Surah Al-Layl — The Night

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ ﴿١﴾

By the Night as it conceals (the light); 92:1

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ﴿٢﴾

By the Day as it appears in glory; 92:2

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ ﴿٣﴾

By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;- 92:3

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ ﴿٤﴾

Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse. 92:4

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ ﴿٥﴾

So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah), 92:5

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ﴿٦﴾

And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,- 92:6

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ﴿٧﴾

We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. 92:7

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ﴿٨﴾

But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient, 92:8

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ﴿٩﴾

And gives the lie to the best,- 92:9

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ ﴿١٠﴾

We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery; 92:10

وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ ﴿١١﴾

Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit). 92:11

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ ﴿١٢﴾

Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide, 92:12

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْـَٔاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿١٣﴾

And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning. 92:13

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًۭا تَلَظَّىٰ ﴿١٤﴾

Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely; 92:14

لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى ﴿١٥﴾

None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones 92:15

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ﴿١٦﴾

Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs. 92:16

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى ﴿١٧﴾

But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,- 92:17

ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ﴿١٨﴾

Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification, 92:18

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍۢ تُجْزَىٰٓ ﴿١٩﴾

And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return, 92:19

إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ﴿٢٠﴾

But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High; 92:20

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ ﴿٢١﴾

And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction. 92:21
