| 73:1 | | O the One Wrapped in piety! (Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him |
| 73:2 | | Stand up for worship during the night, except for some part of it |
| 73:3 | | For half the night, or reduce some from it |
| 73:4 | | Or increase a little upon it, and recite the Qur’an slowly in stages |
| 73:5 | | Indeed We shall soon ordain a heavy responsibility upon you |
| 73:6 | | Indeed getting up in the night is tougher, and the words flow with strength |
| 73:7 | | Indeed you have a lot of matters during the day |
| 73:8 | | And remember the name of your Lord and, leaving others, devote yourself solely to Him |
| 73:9 | | Lord of the East and Lord of the West - there is no God except Him, therefore make Him your sole Trustee of affairs |
| 73:10 | | And patiently endure upon what the disbelievers say, and leave them for good |
| 73:11 | | And leave them to Me – these wealthy deniers – and give them some respite |
| 73:12 | | Indeed We have heavy fetters and a blazing fire |
| 73:13 | | And food that chokes, and a painful punishment |
| 73:14 | | On a day when the earth and the mountains will tremble, and the mountains turn into dunes of flowing sand |
| 73:15 | | We have indeed sent a Noble Messenger towards you, a present witness over you – the way We had sent a Noble Messenger towards Firaun |
| 73:16 | | In response Firaun disobeyed the Noble Messenger, so We seized him with a severe seizure |
| 73:17 | | So how will you save yourselves, if you disbelieve, on a day that will turn children old |
| 73:18 | | The heaven will split asunder with its grief; the promise of Allah will surely occur |
| 73:19 | | This is indeed an advice; so whoever wishes may take the path towards his Lord |
| 73:20 | | Indeed your Lord knows that you stand up in prayer, sometimes almost two-thirds of the night, and sometimes half the night or sometimes a third of it – and also a group of those along with you; Allah keeps measure of the night and day; He knows that you, O Muslims, will not be able to measure the night, so He has inclined towards you with mercy – therefore recite from the Qur’an as much as is easy for you; He knows that soon some of you will fall ill, and some will travel in the land seeking the munificence of Allah, and some will be fighting in Allah’s cause; therefore recite from the Qur’an as much as is easy for you, and establish prayer and pay the obligatory charity, and lend an excellent loan to Allah; and whatever good you send ahead for yourselves, you will find it with Allah, better and having a great reward; and seek forgiveness from Allah; indeed Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful |
