Surah Al-Lail

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ١

By the night when it covers1

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ٢

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ٣

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

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ٤

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ٥

As for he who gives and fears Allāh

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ٦

And believes in the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ٧

We will ease him toward ease.

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ٨

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

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ٩

And denies the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ١٠

We will ease him toward difficulty.

وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ١١

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ١٢

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْـَٔاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ١٣

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ١٤

لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى١٥

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ١٦

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى١٧

ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ١٨

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ١٩

إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ٢٠

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ٢١
