Sorah Al-Layl ( The Night ) - Verses Number 21
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ ( 1 ) 
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ( 2 )
By the Day as it appears in glory;
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ ( 3 )
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ ( 4 )
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ ( 5 )
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ( 6 )
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,-
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ( 7 )
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ ( 8 )
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ( 9 )
And gives the lie to the best,-
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ ( 10 )
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ ( 11 )
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ ( 12 )
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ ( 13 )
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ ( 14 )
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى ( 15 )
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ( 16 )
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى ( 17 )
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,-
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ( 18 )
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ ( 19 )
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ ( 20 )
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ ( 21 )
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.

- Ash-Shafi’i's Risala: Treatise on the Foundations of Islamic JurisprudenceImam Shafi on On Legal Knowledge Read Classical – Excerpt Written in the second Islamic century by al-Imam al-Shafi’i (d. 204AH/820AD), the founder of one of the four Sunni schools of law. This important work gives the fundamental principles of Islamic jurisprudence and its influence continues to the present day. During the early years of the spread of Islam, the exponents of Islamic legal doctrine were faced with the problems raised by ruling and administering a diverse and rapidly growing empire. In Medina and Kufa, as well as other cities of early Muslim rule, schools of law had to be developed, but it took the genius of Muhammad b. Idris al-Shafi’i, born in the year 150AH/767AD, to establish the principles by which the various legal doctrines could be synthesised into a coherent system. In the Risala, which laid down the basis for such a synthesis, al-Shafi’i established the overriding authority, next only to the Qur’an, of the Sunnah or example of the Prophet Muhammad as transmitted in the traditions.
