* | quran | * | 92. al-layl. the night      <   > 

shakir
 
1.  *     I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
 
2.  *     And the day when it shines in brightness,
 
3.  *     And the creating of the male and the female,
 
4.  *     Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
 
5.  *     Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
 
6.  *     And accepts the best,
 
7.  *     We will facilitate for him the easy end.
 
8.  *     And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
 
9.  *     And rejects the best,
 
10.  *     We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
 
11.  *     And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
 
12.  *     Surely Ours is it to show the way,
 
13.  *     And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
 
14.  *     Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
 
15.  *     None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
 
16.  *     Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
 
17.  *     And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
 
18.  *     Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
 
19.  *     And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
 
20.  *     Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
 
21.  *     And he shall soon be well-pleased.
