Sura Lail
(The Night)
No.92 (21 Verses)
Contents of the Sura:
This Sura is a Meccan Sura and has the same qualities that other Meccan Suras have; short verses. Their contents are expressive and awakening and they are generally about the Hereafter and Divine chastisement.
At the beginning, after making three oaths, the verses divide people into two groups: Those pious believers who give in charity and fear Allah; and those disbelievers who are greedy misers and think themselves self-sufficient. The fate of the first group is introduced as being in ease and happiness, and the destiny of the second group is affliction and misery.
At one point in the Sura, after mentioning the fact that Allah guides His servants, the Qur'an warns all of us of a blazing fire. Then, it introduces the conduct of those who enter the fire and that of those who are kept away from it.
The Virtue in Studying Sura Lail:
On the virtue of this Sura, the holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) is narrated to have said: "He who recites it (Sura Lail) Allah awards him so much so that he is satisfied, and He protects him from toil, and makes (the path of his life) smoothor him.(1)
