You enfolded one!
Stand in prayer at night, all but a small part of it,
half of it, or a little less,
or add to it. Recite the Qur’an calmly and distinctly.
We shall bestow on you a weighty message.
The night hours are strongest of tread and most upright of speech.
During the day you have a long chain of things to attend to.
Therefore, remember your Lord’s name and devote yourself wholeheartedly to Him.
He is the Lord of the east and the west. There is no deity other than Him. Take Him for your guardian.
Endure with patience what people may say, and leave their company with noble dignity.
Leave to Me those who deny the truth and enjoy the comforts of this life. Bear with them for a little while.
We have heavy fetters and a blazing fire,
food that chokes and painful suffering
on the Day when the earth and the mountains will shake, and the mountains will crumble into heaps of shifting sand.
We have sent you a messenger to be your witness, just as We sent a messenger to Pharaoh.
Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, and so We inflicted on him a severe punishment.
How will you, if you continue to disbelieve, guard yourselves against a day that will turn children’s hair grey?
That is the Day when the skies shall be rent asunder. God’s promise will certainly be fulfilled.
This is but a reminder. Let him who will take the way to his Lord.
Your Lord knows that you stand in prayer nearly two-thirds of the night, or one-half or a third of it, as do some of your followers. It is God who determines the measure of night and day. He is aware that you will not be able to keep a measure of it, and therefore He turns towards you in His grace. Recite of the Qur’an as much as may be easy for you. He knows that some of you will be sick, others will go about in the land seeking God’s bounty, and others will be fighting for God’s cause. Therefore, recite whatever you may do with ease. Attend regularly to prayer, pay your zakat [obligatory charity], and give God a goodly loan. Whatever good you may offer on your own behalf, you shall find it with God to be better and richer in reward. Seek God’s forgiveness, for God is much-forgiving, ever-merciful.
