سورۃ الليل
-
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ (1)
By oath of the night when it covers -
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ (2)
And by oath of the day when it shines -
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰٓ (3)
And by oath of the One Who created the male and the female. -
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ (4)
Indeed your efforts differ. -
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ (5)
So for one who gave and practised piety -
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ (6)
And believed the best matter to be true -
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ (7)
So We will very soon provide him ease. -
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ (8)
And for him who hoarded wealth and remained carefree, -
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ (9)
And denied the best matter, -
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ (10)
So We will very soon provide him hardship. -
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ (11)
His wealth will not avail him when he falls into ruin. -
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ (12)
Indeed guiding is upon Us. -
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْاٰخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ (13)
And indeed the Hereafter and this world both belong to Us. -
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًۭا تَلَظَّىٰ (14)
I therefore warn you of the fire that is ablaze. -
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى (15)
None except the most wicked will enter it. -
الَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ (16)
The one who denied and turned away. -
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى (17)
It will be far away from the most pious. (The first Caliph S. Abu Bakr Siddiq) -
الَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ (18)
Who gives his wealth in order to be pure. -
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍۢ تُجْزَىٰٓ (19)
And no one has done a favour to him, for which he should be compensated. -
إِلَّا ابْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ (20)
He desires only to please his Lord, the Supreme. -
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ (21)
And indeed, soon he will be very pleased.
