    About Surah Al-Layl

    Al-Layl, the Night, contrasts two kinds of people: the one who gives, is mindful of Allah, and believes in goodness, and the one who is stingy and turns away. It promises ease to the first and hardship to the second, teaching that our choices shape the path that opens before us.
