English - Chapter 92 - Al-Layl

By the night, when it covereth all things with darkness

by the day, when it shineth forth

by Him who hath created the male, and the female

Verily your endeavour is different

Now whoso is obedient, and feareth God

and professeth the truth of that faith which is most excellent

unto him will We facilitate the way to happiness

But whoso shall be covetous, and shall be wholly taken up with this world

and shall deny the truth of that which is most excellent

unto him will We facilitate the way to misery

and his riches shall not profit him, when he shall fall headlong into hell

Verily unto Us appertaineth the direction of mankind

Wherefore I threaten you with fire which burneth fiercely

which none shall enter to be burned except the most wretched

who shall have disbelieved, and turned back

But he who strictly bewareth idolatry and rebellion, shall be removed far from the same

who giveth his substance in alms

and by whom no benefit is bestowed on any, that it may be recompensed

but who bestoweth the same for the sake of his Lord, the most High

And hereafter he shall be well satisfied with his reward
