About this surah

Classed as a Meccan sura, it begins with oaths by the night as it covers, the day as it shines, and the One who created male and female, and declares that human efforts are diverse. Two paths are then set side by side. Whoever gives, is mindful of God and affirms the best reward will be eased toward ease; whoever is stingy, thinks himself self-sufficient and denies that reward will be eased toward hardship, and his wealth will not help him when he falls. The sura states that guidance belongs to God, as do the Hereafter and this first life, and warns of a blazing Fire. Only the most wretched, who denied and turned away, will burn in it. The most God-fearing will be kept far from it: the one who gives his wealth to purify himself, not to repay a favour but seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High — and he will be well pleased.

• Oaths by night and day
• Giving and stinginess
• Ease and hardship
• Giving without expecting return

The name It is named after 'the night' (al-Layl) in the opening oath of verse 1.
