Some are good and some are bad. Good people sometimes do bad things, while bad people sometimes do good things. Some people want to please Allah but eventually invite Allah’s anger. While others want to be happy but they tread on a path that leads to misery. So, what kind of deeds will bring both reward and happiness? Dictionary Diverse : Various, very different. Tread : Walk. Misery : Feeling distressed, in hardship. 13

‫‪‎ ‎ 92‬سورسۃورالۃ الشليملس‬ ‫‪Verse 7‬‬ ‫‪Ease‬‬ ‫‪16‬‬

VVeerrssee&&TTrraannsslalatitoionn Verse 7 ٧‫َف َس ُن َي ِّس ُر ُهۥ لِ ۡل ُي ۡس َر ٰى‬ We will ease his way towards ease. Let's Read Together The outcome is ease. What does it mean? First, Allah will ease us in matters of Islam. Second, He will make life easy for us. Third, He will ease our way to Heaven. And Allah will make us happy throughout our lives in this world and the next. Such is the guarantee for people who do good. What about the other kind of deeds? Dictionary Guarantee: Promise 17

‫‪‎ ‎ 92 Verse 8&9‬سورسۃورالۃ الشليملس‬ ‫‪Stingy‬‬ ‫‪18‬‬

VVeerrssee&&TTrraannsslalatitoionn Verse 8 & 9 ٨‫َوأَ َّما َم ۢن َبِخ َل َوٱ ۡس َت ۡغ َن ٰى‬ But as for him who is stingy and complacent, ٩‫َو َك َّذ َب بِٱلۡحُ ۡس َن ٰى‬ And denies goodness.

VVeerrssee&&TTrraannsslalatitoionn Verse 10 & 11 ١٠‫فَ َس ُن َي ِّس ُر ُهۥ لِ ۡل ُع ۡس َر ٰى‬ We will ease his way towards difficulty. ١١=‫َو َما ُي ۡغنِى َع ۡن ُه َمالُ ُه ٓۥ إِ َذا تَ َر َّد ى‬ And his money will not help him when he falls. Let's Read Together A person with these behaviours will face difficulties. Allah will make his life suffering and make it easy for him to fall into Hell. Can he get away if he had enough money? Yes, he might pay for treatment or bribe his way out. But that will only happen in this world. Money is not the currency of the Hereafter. It will have no use there. Can he also buy guidance with money? Dictionary Suffering : Feeling of pain and unhappiness. Bribe : paying someone to do something in a dishonest way, or to persuade people with money. Currency : a system or quality in use for everyone generally. 21

Let's Read Together No, he cannot buy it. Guidance belongs to Allah alone. All the wealth in this world belongs to Him too. Even the whole universe in this life and everything in the Hereafter is Allah’s. So only He can give us the most valuable thing which is guidance for the Hereafter, and also good well-being in this world. Dictionary Guidance : Help and advice on how to face problems, direction towards a solution. 23

‫‪‎ ‎ 92 Verses 14-16‬سورسۃورالۃ الشليملس‬ ‫‪Wicked‬‬ ‫‪24‬‬

VVeerrssee&&TTrraannsslalatitoionn Verses 14-16 ١٤‫فَأَن َذ ۡرتُ ُك ۡم نَا ًرا تَ َل َّظ ٰى‬ So I have warned you about the blazing fire. ١٥‫ٱل ۡ َأ ۡش َقى‬ َّ ٓ‫يَ ۡص َلىٰ َها‬ َ ‫إِلا‬ ‫لا‬ None will burn in it except the very wicked, ١٦‫َوتَ َول َّ ٰى‬ ‫َك َّذ َب‬ َّ ‫ٱل ِذى‬ Who denies and turns away. Let's Read Together Allah reminds us of Hell so that we take seriously about His words before. The heat in Hellfire is unbearable, its fires are towering high, its punishments are deadly. Only the most wicked person will enter it. But what did the wicked person do? The wicked person ignores when he is given reminders. Dictionary Unbearable : Too painful for you to experience it. Deadly : Extremely and completely dangerous. Wicked : Morally bad, harmful to others. 25

Let's Read Together People who are protected from the Hellfire are the most pious ones. One who spends money on those in need and asks for nothing in return. He only wants to please Allah. He knows that Allah wants him to be kind and compassionate to other people. So he did it out of love of Allah and love of others with sincerity. 27

Summary Surah al-Layl tells us that: If there is a contrast between night and day, male and female, then there is also a big difference between good and evil. Continuing from Surah al-Shams, it further tells us about the two ways of life: the good way and the evil way and the consequences of both ways. Synonyms Pious = Righteous; Religious; Virtuous Promise = Pledge; Guarantee; Assure; Oath Hidayah = Guidance; Gift; Advice 30

Antonyms ‫ال ُأ ۡن َثى‬ ََ ‫الذكر‬ Female Male ‫ال ُع ۡس َرى‬ ‫ال ُي ۡس َرى‬ َ ُ ۡDifficulty Ease ‫ٱلأولى‬ ‫الآ ِخ َرة‬ Former/The first Latter/The next Lessons 1. If we want something, then we have to work hard to get it. If we are afraid of something, then we should work hard to stay away from its causes. 2. Everything that helps us in this world does not necessarily help us in the Hereafter. So, we have to rely fully upon Allah and deeds that can save us in the next life. 3. Be sincere in all actions especially when dealing with other people. Help others and do work for the sake of Allah SWT is the best Muslim character. 31
