Surah Al-Lail
سُورَةُ اللَّيۡلِSurah Al-Lail contrasts those who give and are righteous with those who are miserly and deny the truth, describing their different paths.
وَالَّیْلِ اِذَا یَغْشٰی ۟ۙ
By the night when it covers
وَالنَّهَارِ اِذَا تَجَلّٰی ۟ۙ
And [by] the day when it appears
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْاُ ۟ۙ
And [by] He who created the male and female,
اِنَّ سَعْیَكُمْ لَشَتّٰی ۟ؕ
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
فَاَمَّا مَنْ اَعْطٰی وَاتَّقٰی ۟ۙ
As for he who gives and fears Allah
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنٰی ۟ۙ
And believes in the best [reward],
فَسَنُیَسِّرُهٗ لِلْیُسْرٰی ۟ؕ
We will ease him toward ease.
وَاَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنٰی ۟ۙ
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنٰی ۟ۙ
And denies the best [reward],
فَسَنُیَسِّرُهٗ لِلْعُسْرٰی ۟ؕ
We will ease him toward difficulty.
وَمَا یُغْنِیْ عَنْهُ مَالُهٗۤ اِذَا تَرَدّٰی ۟ؕ
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
اِنَّ عَلَیْنَا لَلْهُدٰی ۟ؗۖ
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
وَاِنَّ لَنَا لَلْاٰخِرَةَ وَالْاُوْلٰی ۟
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
فَاَنْذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظّٰی ۟ۚ
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
لَا یَصْلٰىهَاۤ اِلَّا الْاَشْقَی ۟ۙ
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
الَّذِیْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّٰی ۟ؕ
Who had denied and turned away.
وَسَیُجَنَّبُهَا الْاَتْقَی ۟ۙ
But the righteous one will avoid it -
الَّذِیْ یُؤْتِیْ مَالَهٗ یَتَزَكّٰی ۟ۚ
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
وَمَا لِاَحَدٍ عِنْدَهٗ مِنْ نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزٰۤی ۟ۙ
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
اِلَّا ابْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْاَعْلٰی ۟ۚ
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
وَلَسَوْفَ یَرْضٰی ۟۠
And he is going to be satisfied.
