Surah Al-Lail (اللیْل)

Ayat 1–21

وَالَّيۡلِ اِذَا يَغۡشٰىۙ ۝١

92:1By the night enshrouding

وَالنَّهَارِ اِذَا تَجَلّٰىۙ ۝٢

92:2And the day resplendent

وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالۡاُنۡثٰٓىۙ ۝٣

92:3And Him Who hath created male and female,

اِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتّٰىؕ ۝٤

92:4Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward diverse ends).

فَاَمَّا مَنۡ اَعۡطٰى وَاتَّقٰىۙ ۝٥

92:5As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)

وَصَدَّقَ بِالۡحُسۡنٰىۙ ۝٦

92:6And believeth in goodness;

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهٗ لِلۡيُسۡرٰىؕ ۝٧

92:7Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.

وَاَمَّا مَنۡۢ بَخِلَ وَاسۡتَغۡنٰىۙ ۝٨

92:8But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,

وَكَذَّبَ بِالۡحُسۡنٰىۙ ۝٩

92:9And disbelieveth in goodness;

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهٗ لِلۡعُسۡرٰىؕ ۝١٠

92:10Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.

وَمَا يُغۡنِىۡ عَنۡهُ مَالُهٗۤ اِذَا تَرَدّٰىؕ ۝١١

92:11His riches will not save him when he perisheth.

اِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَـلۡهُدٰىۖ ۝١٢

92:12Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance

وَاِنَّ لَـنَا لَـلۡاٰخِرَةَ وَالۡاُوۡلٰى ۝١٣

92:13And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.

فَاَنۡذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارًا تَلَظّٰىۚ ۝١٤

92:14Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire

لَا يَصۡلٰٮهَاۤ اِلَّا الۡاَشۡقَىۙ ۝١٥

92:15Which only the most wretched must endure,

الَّذِىۡ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّٰىؕ ۝١٦

92:16He who denieth and turneth away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الۡاَتۡقَىۙ ۝١٧

92:17Far removed from it will be the righteous

الَّذِىۡ يُؤۡتِىۡ مَالَهٗ يَتَزَكّٰىۚ ۝١٨

92:18Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).

وَمَا لِاَحَدٍ عِنۡدَهٗ مِنۡ نِّعۡمَةٍ تُجۡزٰٓىۙ ۝١٩

92:19And none hath with him any favour for reward,

اِلَّا ابۡتِغَآءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِ الۡاَعۡلٰىۚ ۝٢٠

92:20Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.

وَلَسَوۡفَ يَرۡضٰى ۝٢١

92:21He verily will be content.
