Surah “The Night”

as rendered by Shuaib Abdullahi — 21 verses

By (Wa) the night (Ellai'li)* when (Izaa) it covers (Yag'shaa), (91:4)
and (Wa) the day (En'Nahaari) when (Izaa) it reveals (Tajallaa), (91:3)
and (Wa) that which (Maa) created (53:45) (Khalaqa) the male (Ez'Zakara) and the female (El'Unthaa).
Indeed (Inna), your efforts (Sa'ya-kum') are (La) diverse (Shattaa).
As for (Fa Amma) one who (Man') gave (A'toa) and (Wa) reverenced (Ettaqaa)
and (Wa) gave credence to (Soddaqa Bi) goodness (El'Hus'naa),
then (Fa) We will ease him (Sa Nuyassiru-hu) towards the ease (87:8) (Lil' Yus'raa).
As for (Wa Amma) one who (Man) was stingy (Bakhila) and (Wa) gave up (Es'tag'naa)
and (Wa) denied (Kazzaba Bi) goodness (El'Hus'naa),
thence (Fa) We will ease him (Sa Nuyassiru-hu) towards the hardship (Lil' Us'raa).
And (Wa) his wealth (Maalu-hu) will not (Maa) avail him (Yug'nii Än'hu) when (Izaa) he declines (Taraddaa).
Indeed (Inna), upon Us (Älai'naa) is (La) the Guidance (2:38) (El'Hudaa).
and (Wa) indeed (Inna), the hereafter (Lal' Aakhirata) and the first life (El'Uulaa) belongs to Us (Lanaa).
So (Fa) I (God) have warned you (p) (An'zar'tu-kum’) of a blazing (Talazzoa) fire (Naaran).
None (Laa) will burn therein (Yas'laa-haa) except (illa) the most wretched (El'Ash'qaa),
who (Ellazii) denied (Kazzaba) and (Wa) turned way (Tawallaa).
But (Wa) the most pious (49:13) (El'At'qaa) will shield from it (Sa Yujannabu-ha),
who (Ellazii) gives (Yu'tii) his wealth (Maala-hu) to purify (himself) (Yatazakkaa),
and (Wa) not (Maa) for (Li) someone (Ahadin) next to him (Enda-hu) to repay (Tuj'zaa) with (Min) a favour (Ni'matin)
except (illa) seeking (Eb'tigaa'a) the countenance (76:9) (Waj'hi) of his LORD (Rabbi-hi), the Highest (87:1) (El' A'laa).
And (Wa) he will surely be (La Saw'fa) pleased (Yar'doa).
