Surah “The Night”

as rendered by Samy Mahdy — 21 verses

And by the night, when it overcovers.
And by the day when it transfigures shine.
And what was created, the male and the female.
Surely your strivings are diverse.
So as for him who gave and showed piety.
And ratified by the bestest.
So We will ease him, for the easy.
And as for him who skimped and self-availed.
And falsified by the bestest.
So We will ease him, for the difficulty.
And his money will not avail him when he deteriorates.
Surely it is upon Us to guide.
And surely for Us are the Last and the First.
So, I have warned you, fire its flame purifies.
None will flame in it except the most unhappy.
The one who falsified and turned away.
And he will avoid it, the most pious.
The one who is given his money to refine himself (Give Zakat).
And not for anyone at him any grace to be recompensed.
Except seeking his Lord’s face, Al-Aala (The Highest).
So, he will be satisfied.
