Surah “The Night”

The night acts as a witness when it envelops (and conceals from view many things)

and the day-time when it makes (many things) bright

and whatever He created in pairs as the male and the female

Surely, your endeavour is indeed diverse (in directions and targets)

So as for that who gave (i.e., spent as desired in the ordainments of Al-Kitab), and remained obedient (to Allah)

and testified to the best (law in Al-Kitab by adopting it)

So, soon We provide him facility for Al-Yusrah

And as for that who behaved niggardly and remained unconcerned

and belied the best (law in Al-Kitab)

then soon, We let him slide to Al-Usrah

And shall not benefit him his wealth when he has slided to destruction

Verily, on Us indeed (is the duty to provide) the True Guidance

And truly for Us (is) indeed (the ownership of) the Hereafter and the initial, present (world)

So I have warned you of (the) Fire — it is blazing fiercely

Does not enter it except Al-Ashqa

that one who denied and turned away (from Al-Kitab)

And soon — Al-Atqa shall be kept away from it —

that one who spends his wealth: he sanctifies (himself)

and with him (i.e., Al-Atqa) there is not for any one out of a reward, which may be paid (by him, as due) in return (for any good some one has done to this pious and obedient person) —

except a desire to seek the attention of his Nourisher-Sustainer, the Most High

And surely, very soon he will be pleased (in the Hereafter)
