Explanation of
# 92 The Night (Al-Layl)
In the name of
Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
[92.1] By the night
enshrouding
[92.2] And the day resplendent
[92.3] And Him Who hath created male and female,
[92.4] Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
[92.5] As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
[92.6] And believeth in goodness;
[92.7] Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
[92.8] But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself
independent,
[92.9] And disbelieveth in goodness;
[92.10] Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
[92.11] His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
[92.12] Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
[92.13] And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the
former.
[92.14] Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
[92.15] Which only the most wretched must endure,
[92.16] He who denieth and turneth away.
[92.17] Far removed from it will be the righteous
[92.18] Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
[92.19] And none hath with him any favour for reward,
[92.20] Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord
Most High.
[92.21] He verily will be content.
