Introduction
The Surah takes its name from the word wal-lail with which it opens.
By the night when it covers
And [by] the day when it appears
٢
And [by] He who created the male and female,
٣
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
٤
As for he who gives and fears Allāh
٥
And believes in the best [reward],
We will ease him toward ease.
٧
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
٨
And denies the best [reward],
We will ease him toward difficulty.
١٠
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
١١
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
١٢
And indeed, to us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
١٣
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
١٤
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one
١٥
Who had denied and turned away.
١٦
But the righteous one will avoid it
١٧
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
١٨
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
١٩
But only seeking the face [i.e., acceptance] of his Lord, Most High.
٢٠
And he is going to be satisfied.
