Surah “The Night”

as rendered by Hasan Al-Fatih Qaribullah — 21 verses

By the night, when it envelops
and by the day when it unveils
And by Who created the male and female
your striving is indeed to different ends
For him that gives and fears (Allah)
and believes in the finest
We shall surely ease him to the Path of Easing
but for him that is a miser, and sufficed
and he belied the fines
We shall surely ease for him the Path of Hardship (the Fire)
When he falls (into Hell), his wealth will not help him
Indeed, Guidance is Ours
and to Us belong the Last and the First
I have now warned you of the Blazing Fire
in which none shall be roasted except the most wretched sinner
who belied and turned away
and from which the cautious shall be distanced
He who gives his wealth to be purified
and confers no favor upon anyone for recompense
seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High
surely, he shall be satisfied
