Surah “The Night”

By the night when it covers up (and conceals everything in its darkness)

And by the day when it brightens up

And by that Being Who created male and female (in everything)

Indeed, your striving is different (and singular)

So he who gives away (his wealth in the way of Allah) and commits himself to piousness

And affirms the good (the Din [Religion]) of truth and life after death through charity and Godwariness)

Soon We shall facilitate him in seeking (Allah’s pleasure) with ease

But he who is miser and disregards (spending in the cause of Allah)

And (in this way) denies the good (the Din [Religion]) of truth and afterlife)

Soon shall We facilitate his landing into hardship (advancing towards torment, so that punishment becomes his rightful due)

And his wealth will not help him any way when he falls into (the pit of) destruction

Indeed, it is binding on Us to show you the path (of truth)

And indeed, We are the Master of the Hereafter and the world

So I have warned you of the raging Fire (of Hell)

No one shall enter it but the most wretched

He who gives lie to (the Din [Religion] of truth) and turns away (from obedience to the Messenger [blessings and peace be upon him])

But the most pious one shall be saved from this (Fire)

Who gives his wealth away (in the cause of Allah) to attain to purity (of his soul and assets)

And who owes no favour to anyone that he is seeking to pay back

Rather (he spends) seeking the pleasure of his Lord, Most High

And soon shall he be well-pleased (with Allah for His bestowal and Allah with him for his fidelity)
