Surah Al-Layl in the Qaloun Recitation

وَاليْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ﴿1﴾

By the night when it covers

وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ﴿2﴾

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ اَ۬لذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ﴿3﴾

And [by] He who created the male and female,

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰۖ﴿4﴾

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ﴿5﴾

As for he who gives and fears Allāh

وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ﴿6﴾

And believes in the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰۖ﴿7﴾

We will ease him toward ease.

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ﴿8﴾

But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ﴿9﴾

And denies the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰۖ﴿10﴾

We will ease him toward difficulty.

وَمَا يُغْنِے عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰۖ﴿11﴾

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ﴿12﴾

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْأٓخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰۖ﴿13﴾

And indeed, to us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَاراٗ تَلَظَّىٰ﴿14﴾

So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

لَا يَصْلَيٰهَا إِلَّا اَ۬لْأَشْقَى﴿15﴾

None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one

اَ۬لذِے كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰۖ﴿16﴾

Who had denied and turned away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا اَ۬لْأَتْقَى﴿17﴾

But the righteous one will avoid it

اَ۬لذِے يُؤْتِے مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰۖ﴿18﴾

[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٖ تُجْزَىٰ﴿19﴾

And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded

إِلَّا اَ۪بْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ اِ۬لْأَعْلَىٰۖ﴿20﴾

But only seeking the face [i.e., acceptance] of his Lord, Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰۖ﴿21﴾

And he is going to be satisfied.
