AL LAYL (THE NIGHT)
(Revealed at Mecca - contains 21 verses - 1 section)
Section 1
[Layl 92:1] By oath of the night when it covers [Layl 92:2] And by oath of the day when it shines [Layl 92:3] And by oath of the One Who created the male and the female. [Layl 92:4] Indeed your efforts differ. [Layl 92:5] So for one who gave and practised piety [Layl 92:6] And believed the best matter to be true [Layl 92:7] So We will very soon provide him ease. [Layl 92:8] And for him who hoarded wealth and remained carefree, [Layl 92:9] And denied the best matter, [Layl 92:10] So We will very soon provide him hardship. [Layl 92:11] His wealth will not avail him when he falls into ruin. [Layl 92:12] Indeed guiding is upon Us. [Layl 92:13] And indeed the Hereafter and this world both belong to Us. [Layl 92:14] I therefore warn you of the fire that is ablaze. [Layl 92:15] None except the most wicked will enter it. [Layl 92:16] The one who denied and turned away. [Layl 92:17] He will be far away from the most pious. (The first Caliph S. Abu Bakr Siddiq) [Layl 92:18] Who gives his wealth in order to be pure. [Layl 92:19] And no one has done a favour to him, for which he should be compensated. [Layl 92:20] He desires only to please his Lord, the Supreme. [Layl 92:21] And indeed, soon he will be very pleased. |
