Surah “The Night”

as rendered by Edip Yuksel — 21 verses

By the night when it covers.
The day when it appears.
He created the male and female.
Your works are various.
As for he who gives and is righteous.
Trusts in goodness.
We will make the easy path for him.
As for he who is stingy and holds back.
Denies goodness.
We will make the difficult path for him.
His wealth will not avail him when he demises.
It is upon Us to guide.
To Us is the end and the beginning.
I have warned you of a fire that blazes.
None shall have it but the wicked.
The one who denies and turns away.
As for the righteous, he will be spared it.
The one who gives his money to develop with.
Seeking nothing in return.
Except the face of His Lord, the Most High.
He will be satisfied.
