92. Sura al-Layl with Urdu Translation

Sura 92. al-Layl (the Night):

In the Name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Ever-Merciful.

1. By the night when it covers up (and conceals everything in its darkness),

2. And by the day when it brightens up,

3. And by that Being Who created male and female (in everything),

4. Indeed your striving is different (and singular).

5. So he who gives away (his wealth in the way of Allah) and commits himself to piousness,

6. And affirms good (Din (Religion)) of Truth and life after death through charity and Godwariness),

7. Soon We shall facilitate him in seeking (Allah’s pleasure) with ease.

8. But he who is miser and disregards (spending in the cause of Allah),

9. And (in this way) belies good (Din (Religion)) of Truth and life after death),

10. Soon shall We facilitate him landing into hardship (advancing towards torment, so that punishment becomes his rightful due).

11. And his wealth will not help him any way when he falls into (the pit of) destruction.

12. Indeed it is binding on Us to show you the path (of Truth).

13. And indeed We are the Master of the Hereafter and the world.

14. So I have warned you of the raging Fire (of Hell).

15. No one but only the most wretched shall enter it,

16. Who denies (Din (Religion) of Truth) and turns away (from obedience to the Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him)).

17. But the most pious shall be saved from this (Fire),

18. Who gives his wealth away (in the cause of Allah) to attain to purity (of his soul and assets),

19. And who owes no favour to anyone that he is seeking to pay back.

20. Rather (he spends) seeking the pleasure of his Lord, Most High.

21. And soon shall he be well-pleased (with Allah for His bestowal and Allah with him for his fidelity).
