Read English Translated Version of Surah Al-Lail
1. By the night when it covers,
2. and the day when it shines!
3. And by ˹the One˺ Who created male and female!
4. Surely the ends you strive for are diverse.
5. As for the one who is charitable, mindful ˹of Allah˺,
6. and ˹firmly˺ believes in the finest reward,
7. We will facilitate for them the Way of Ease.
8. And as for the one who is stingy, indifferent ˹to Allah˺,
9. and ˹staunchly˺ denies the finest reward,
10. We will facilitate for them the path of hardship.
11. And their wealth will be of no benefit to them when they tumble ˹into Hell˺.
12. It is certainly upon Us ˹alone˺ to show ˹the way to˺ guidance.
13. And surely to Us ˹alone˺ belong this life and the next.
14. And so I have warned you of a raging Fire,
15. in which none will burn except the most wretched—
16. who deny and turn away.
17. But the righteous will be spared from it—
18. who donate ˹some of˺ their wealth only to purify themselves,
19. not in return for someone’s favours,
20. but seeking the pleasure of their Lord, the Most High.
21. They will certainly be pleased.
