By the Day as it appears in glory;
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ ( 3 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 3
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ ( 4 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 4
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ ( 5 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 5
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ( 6 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 6
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,-
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ( 7 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 7
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ ( 8 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 8

وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ( 9 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 9
And gives the lie to the best,-
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ ( 10 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 10
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ ( 11 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 11
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ ( 12 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 12
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ ( 13 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 13
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ ( 14 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 14
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى ( 15 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 15
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ( 16 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 16
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى ( 17 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 17
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,-
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ( 18 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 18
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ ( 19 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 19
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ ( 20 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 20
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ ( 21 ) Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Ayaa 21
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.

  • Predestination (Qadar)Qadar is a very sensitive topic. It is the sixth pillar of faith, and many people have gone astray regarding it. Some have denied it altogether while others have gone to such extremes in affirming it that they end up denying human free will.

  • The Message of the MessengersDr. Saleh As-Saleh shows in his introduction to this book that Allah could not have created this universe without a purpose. He is All-Wise, All- Knowledgeable, All-Merciful and All-Just. All of these attributes entail providing ways of guidance that would lead to the proper knowledge of Him, and thus the right way to worship Him. Allah sent his messengers to direct man to relate to His Creator through complete submission and obedience (this is the meaning of Islam). He needs to know what benefits him and what harms him. The Message from Allah comprehends everything. It brings man to live for a noble purpose. All forms of worship are explained in the Qur'an and by the Prophet. Worship is not left for our limited minds to decide upon their ways.

  • Explaining the Meaning of An-Nur (the Light), One of Allah's NamesThis nice article discusses a very nice topic. It discusses the meaning of Allah's name: An-Nur (the Light).
