Surat Al Lail (Arabic:
الليل the Night) is the 92nd
sūrah (chapter) of the Holy Quran,
containing twenty-one ayat (verses). This surah
is one of the first ten to be revealed in Mecca. It contrasts two types of
people, the charitable and the miserly, and describes each of their characteristics.
Allah begins this
chapter by swearing a series of oaths: by the night when it envelops the world,
by the day when it illuminates and, finally by Himself who has created the male
and female (92:1-3). Evidence of these three things are invoked (night, day and
gender) to illustrate how the aims and activities engaged in by both
individuals and nations, are, in respect to their moral nature, widely
divergent. Verse 92:3 literally means, "Consider that which has created
[or "creates"] the male and the female", i.e., the elements
which are responsible for the differentiation between male and female. This, together with the symbolism of night and
day, darkness and light, is an allusion - similar to the first ten verses of
the preceding surah (Ash-Shams) - to
the polarity evident in all nature and, hence, to the dichotomy (spoken of in
the next verse) which characterizes man’s aims and motives. Following a style
common to the brief chapters, three opposing moral characteristics are
presented as illustrations, providing a means from which mankind may judge
which of the two lifestyles is being represented.
