Al-Layl divides human striving in two and follows each to its end: the one who gives and fears Allah is eased towards ease, and the one who withholds and thinks himself self-sufficient is eased towards hardship.
At this pace the whole surah takes 7 study days.
Study days are days you actually sit down to memorise — miss one and the plan simply moves with you.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ…وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
By the night, the day and what created male and female — the giver eased to ease, the withholder to hardship.
Study days 1-4
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ…وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
Guidance is upon Us; the fire only the most wretched enters, and the one who gives his wealth to purify himself.
Study days 4-7
