73:1  O you (Prophet Muhammad) wrapped

73:2  rise (to pray) the night except a little

73:3  half the night, or a little les

73:4  or a little more; and with recitation, recite the Koran

73:5  We are about to cast upon you a weighty Word

73:6  Indeed, the first part of night is heavier in tread, and more upright in speech

73:7  You have by day prolonged occupations

73:8  Remember the Name of your Lord and dedicate yourself devoutly to Him

73:9  He is the Lord of the East and the West; there is no god except Him. Take Him for your Guardian

73:10  Bear patiently with what they say and with a fine abandonment forsake them

73:11  Leave to Me those who belie, those who lead a life of pleasure, and bear with them yet a little while

73:12  We have fetters (for them) and a blazing fire

73:13  choking food and a painful punishment

73:14  On the Day when the earth with all its mountains quake and the mountains become heaps of shifting sand

73:15  Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness over you, just as We sent a Messenger to Pharaoh

73:16  Pharaoh disobeyed Our Messenger, so We seized him remorselessly

73:17  If you disbelieve, how will you guard yourself against the Day that will make children gray haired

73:18  on which the heaven will split apart, and His promise is done

73:19  This is indeed a Reminder. Let whosoever will take the Path to his Lord

73:20  Your Lord knows that you keep vigil nearly two thirds of the night and sometimes half or onethird of it, and a party of those with you. Allah measures thenight and the day. He knows that you cannot count it, and turns to you. Therefore, recite from the Koran as much as is easy (for you); He knows that among youthere are the sick and others traveling the road seeking the bounty of Allah; and others fighting in the Way of Allah. So then, recite from it as much as is easy.Establish your prayers, pay the obligatory charity, and lend Allah a generous loan. Whatever good you shall forward to your souls' account, you surely will find it better with Allah, and a mightier wage. And supplicate for the forgiveness of Allah. Allah is the Forgiving, the Merciful
