In the Name
of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[73.1] O you
who have wrapped up in your garments!
[73.2] Rise
to pray in the night except a little,
[73.3] Half
of it, or lessen it a little,
[73.4] Or
add to it, and recite the Qur’an as it ought to be recited.
[73.5]
Surely We will make to light upon you a weighty Word.
[73.6]
Surely the rising by night is the firmest way to tread and the best corrective of speech.
[73.7]
Surely you have in the day time a long occupation.
[73.8] And
remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with (exclusive) devotion.
[73.9] The
Lord of the East and the West -- there is no god but He -- therefore take Him for a
protector.
[73.10] And
bear patiently what they say and avoid them with a becoming avoidance.
[73.11] And
leave Me and the rejecters, the possessors of ease and plenty, and respite them a little.
[73.12]
Surely with Us are heavy fetters and a flaming fire,
[73.13] And
food that chokes and a painful punishment,
[73.14] On
the day when the earth and the mountains shall quake and the mountains shall become (as)
heaps of sand let loose.
[73.15]
Surely We have sent to you an Apostle, a witness against you, as We sent an apostle to
Firon.
[73.16] But
Firon disobeyed the apostle, so We laid on him a violent hold.
[73.17] How,
then, will you guard yourselves, if you disbelieve, on the day which shall make children
grey-headed?
[73.18] The
heaven shall rend asunder thereby; His promise is ever brought to fulfillment.
[73.19]
Surely this is a reminder, then let him, who will take the way to his Lord.
[73.20]
Surely your Lord knows that you pass in prayer nearly two-thirds of the night, and
(sometimes) half of it, and (sometimes) a third of it, and (also) a party of those with
you; and Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you are not able to do it, so
He has turned to you (mercifully), therefore read what is easy of the Qur’an. He
knows that there must be among you sick, and others who travel in the land seeking of the
bounty of Allah, and others who fight in Allah's way, therefore read as much of it as is
easy (to you), and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and offer to Allah a goodly gift,
and whatever of good you send on beforehand for yourselves, you will find it with Allah;
that is best and greatest in reward; and ask forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah is
Forgiving, Merciful.
