( 1 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 1 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 1](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
By the night when it covers
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
( 2 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 2 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 2](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And [by] the day when it appears
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ
( 3 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 3 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 3](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And [by] He who created the male and female,
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
( 4 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 4 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 4](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ
( 5 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 5 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 5](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
As for he who gives and fears Allah
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
( 6 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 6 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 6](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And believes in the best [reward],
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
( 7 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 7 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 7](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
We will ease him toward ease.
وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ
( 8 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 8 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 8](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
( 9 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 9 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 9](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And denies the best [reward],
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
( 10 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 10 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 10](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
We will ease him toward difficulty.
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ
( 11 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 11 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 11](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
( 12 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 12 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 12](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ
( 13 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 13 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 13](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
( 14 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 14 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 14](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
( 15 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 15 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 15](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
( 16 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 16 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 16](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Who had denied and turned away.
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
( 17 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 17 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 17](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
But the righteous one will avoid it -
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
( 18 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 18 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 18](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ
( 19 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 19 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 19](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
( 20 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 20 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 20](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
( 21 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 21 Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Aya 21](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And he is going to be satisfied.
