The Night
Listen to this Surah
Recitation by Mishary Rashid Alafasy
Arabic • English
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
English Translation
CONSIDER the night as it veils [the earth] in darkness,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
English Translation
and the day as it rises bright!
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
English Translation
Consider the creation of the male and the female!
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
English Translation
Verily, [O men,] you aim at most divergent ends!
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
English Translation
Thus, as for him who gives [to others] and is conscious of God,
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
English Translation
and believes in the truth of the ultimate good
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
English Translation
for him shall We make easy the path towards [ultimate] ease.
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
English Translation
But as for him who is niggardly, and thinks that he is self-sufficient,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
English Translation
and calls the ultimate good a lie –
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
English Translation
for him shall We make easy the path towards hardship:
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
English Translation
and what will his wealth avail him when he goes down [to his grave]?
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
English Translation
BEHOLD, it is indeed for Us to grace [you] with guidance;
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
English Translation
and, behold, Ours is [the dominion over] the life to come as well as [over] this earlier part [of your life]:
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًۭا تَلَظَّىٰ
English Translation
and so I warn you of the raging fire -
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
English Translation
[the fire] which none shall have to endure but that most hapless wretch
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
English Translation
who gives the lie to the truth and turns away [from it].
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
English Translation
For, distant from it shall remain he who is truly conscious of God:
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
English Translation
he that spends his possessions [on others] so that he might grow in purity –
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍۢ تُجْزَىٰٓ
English Translation
not as payment for favours received,
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
English Translation
but only out of a longing for the countenance of his Sustainer, the All-Highest:
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
English Translation
and such, indeed, shall in time be well-pleased.
