English Sahih International

Surah Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya count 21

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ ( 1 )

Witness is the Night as it cloaks in darkness.

وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ( 2 )

And the Day as it shines with splendor.

وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ ( 3 )

Witness is creation of the male and the female.

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ ( 4 )

Behold, your effort is diverse. (Your occupations and earnings are different. Let not this be a cause for division among you).

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ ( 5 )

And so, he who gives and walks aright - (92:18-19)

وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ( 6 )

And makes his life a manifest image of benevolence -

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ( 7 )

We will indeed ease his way to the Ultimate Ease.

وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ ( 8 )

But he who withholds and thinks himself self-sufficient becoming careless of others -

وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ( 9 )

And makes his life a manifest image of denial of goodness -

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ ( 10 )

We will indeed ease his way to hardship.

وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ ( 11 )

And what could his wealth avail when he himself falls! (69:28), (111:2).

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ ( 12 )

Behold, it is for Us to show you the Way (through this Revelation).

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ ( 13 )

And behold, unto Us belong the End and the Beginning. (93:4).

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ ( 14 )

And so I warn you of a raging Fire.

لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى ( 15 )

Which only the most unfortunate must endure.

الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ( 16 )

He who denies and turns away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى ( 17 )

But far removed from it is he who walks aright.

الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ( 18 )

Who gives his wealth that he may grow in goodness. (9:111).

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ ( 19 )

Not that he is returning any favors. (76:9).

إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ ( 20 )

But only to seek the Approval of his Lord, the Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ ( 21 )

And soon he will be pleased.
