Surah Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya count 21
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
( 1 ) By the night when it covers
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
( 2 ) And [by] the day when it appears
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ
( 3 ) And [by] He who created the male and female,
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
( 4 ) Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ
( 5 ) As for he who gives and fears Allah
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
( 6 ) And believes in the best [reward],
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
( 7 ) We will ease him toward ease.
وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ
( 8 ) But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
( 9 ) And denies the best [reward],
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
( 10 ) We will ease him toward difficulty.
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ
( 11 ) And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
( 12 ) Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ
( 13 ) And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
( 14 ) So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
( 15 ) None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
( 16 ) Who had denied and turned away.
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
( 17 ) But the righteous one will avoid it -
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
( 18 ) [He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ
( 19 ) And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
( 20 ) But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
( 21 ) And he is going to be satisfied.
