Sorah Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Verses Number 21

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ ( 1 )

By the night when it covers

وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ( 2 )

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ ( 3 )

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

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ ( 4 )

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ ( 5 )

As for he who gives and fears Allah

وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ( 6 )

And believes in the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ( 7 )

We will ease him toward ease.

وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ ( 8 )

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

وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ( 9 )

And denies the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ ( 10 )

We will ease him toward difficulty.

وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ ( 11 )

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ ( 12 )

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ ( 13 )

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

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ ( 14 )

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

لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى ( 15 )

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

الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ( 16 )

Who had denied and turned away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى ( 17 )

But the righteous one will avoid it -

الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ( 18 )

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

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ ( 19 )

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

إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ ( 20 )

But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ ( 21 )

And he is going to be satisfied.

The Best Provision to the Day of JudgmentA book contains sunnahs (recommended acts) scattered in a lot of books. It’s divided into two main sections. The first is concerned with good deeds that have specified rewards whose benefits are restricted to whoever performs them only. Examples of such good deeds are: praying sunnahs and performing ‘umrah. The second section is devoted to the deeds with unspecified benefits, i.e. the good deeds whose benefits reach others like the family, the neighbor or even the community in large. These benefits are achieved in this life as well as the Last Day. Giving charity and useful knowledge are examples of this group of good deeds.

A guide for the new MuslimThis is a gift for all the new Muslims who currently know the right path to Allah. This is a means to strength and preserve their belief. In this book Sheikh Jamaal al-Din Zarabozo shows the fruits of becoming a Muslim, the excellent features of Islam and all aspects of Islam. Sheikh Jamaal illustrates the pillars of faith on which one’s belief is based and the pillars of Islam which contain the best practical deeds (e.g. prayer) and the best deeds of the heart i.e. the monotheism. As Islam is a social religion, Sheikh explains the Muslim’s behavior towards all individuals in the society, old or young, whether they embrace Islam or not. Afterwards he puts up some notice about both of the permissible and prohibited financial dealings. He also mentions the factors which increase the one’s belief and help the Muslim to abide by Allah’s commands. He refers to the obstacles (e.g. lust, misconception and ignorance) in the path of the Muslims prevent him from continuing his way to Allah. He also shows the prerequisites of the sincere repentance which is between the person and his God without a mediator. Finally, he gives a word for the new Muslim.
