يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُزَّمِّلُ
Ya ayyuha almuzzammilu
O you who wraps himself [in clothing]
قُمِ ٱلَّيۡلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا
Qumi allayla illa qaleelan
Arise [to pray] the night, except for a little
نِّصۡفَهُۥٓ أَوِ ٱنقُصۡ مِنۡهُ قَلِيلًا
Nisfahu awi onqus minhu qaleelan
Half of it - or subtract from it a little
أَوۡ زِدۡ عَلَيۡهِ وَرَتِّلِ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ تَرۡتِيلًا
Aw zid AAalayhi warattili alqurana tarteelan
Or add to it, and recite the Qur'an with measured recitation
إِنَّا سَنُلۡقِي عَلَيۡكَ قَوۡلٗا ثَقِيلًا
Inna sanulqee AAalayka qawlan thaqeelan
Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word

Inna nashiata allayli hiya ashaddu watan waaqwamu qeelan
Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue] and more suitable for words
إِنَّ لَكَ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبۡحٗا طَوِيلٗا
Inna laka fee alnnahari sabhan taweelan
Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation
وَٱذۡكُرِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلۡ إِلَيۡهِ تَبۡتِيلٗا
Waothkuri isma rabbika watabattal ilayhi tabteelan
And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with [complete] devotion
رَّبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱتَّخِذۡهُ وَكِيلٗا
Rabbu almashriqi waalmaghribi la ilaha illa huwa faittakhithhu wakeelan
[He is] the Lord of the East and the West; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of [your] affairs
وَٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱهۡجُرۡهُمۡ هَجۡرٗا جَمِيلٗا
Waisbir AAala ma yaqooloona waohjurhum hajran jameelan
And be patient over what they say and avoid them with gracious avoidance
وَذَرۡنِي وَٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ أُوْلِي ٱلنَّعۡمَةِ وَمَهِّلۡهُمۡ قَلِيلًا
Watharnee waalmukaththibeena olee alnnaAAmati wamahhilhum qaleelan
And leave Me with [the matter of] the deniers, those of ease [in life], and allow them respite a little
إِنَّ لَدَيۡنَآ أَنكَالٗا وَجَحِيمٗا
Inna ladayna ankalan wajaheeman
Indeed, with Us [for them] are shackles and burning fire
وَطَعَامٗا ذَا غُصَّةٖ وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمٗا
WataAAaman tha ghussatin waAAathaban aleeman
And food that chokes and a painful punishment
يَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَثِيبٗا مَّهِيلًا
Yawma tarjufu alardu waaljibalu wakanati aljibalu katheeban maheelan
On the Day the earth and the mountains will convulse and the mountains will become a heap of sand pouring down
إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكُمۡ رَسُولٗا شَٰهِدًا عَلَيۡكُمۡ كَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ رَسُولٗا
Inna arsalna ilaykum rasoolan shahidan AAalaykum kama arsalna ila firAAawna rasoolan
Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness upon you just as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger
فَعَصَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنُ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذۡنَٰهُ أَخۡذٗا وَبِيلٗا
FaAAasa firAAawnu alrrasoola faakhathnahu akhthan wabeelan
But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a ruinous seizure
فَكَيۡفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِن كَفَرۡتُمۡ يَوۡمٗا يَجۡعَلُ ٱلۡوِلۡدَٰنَ شِيبًا
Fakayfa tattaqoona in kafartum yawman yajAAalu alwildana sheeban
Then how can you fear, if you disbelieve, a Day that will make the children white- haired
ٱلسَّمَآءُ مُنفَطِرُۢ بِهِۦۚ كَانَ وَعۡدُهُۥ مَفۡعُولًا
Alssamao munfatirun bihi kana waAAduhu mafAAoolan
The heaven will break apart therefrom; ever is His promise fulfilled
إِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦ تَذۡكِرَةٞۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلًا
Inna hathihi tathkiratun faman shaa ittakhatha ila rabbihi sabeelan
Indeed, this is a reminder, so whoever wills may take to his Lord a way
۞إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعۡلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدۡنَىٰ مِن ثُلُثَيِ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَنِصۡفَهُۥ وَثُلُثَهُۥ وَطَآئِفَةٞ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَكَۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَۚ عَلِمَ أَن لَّن تُحۡصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيۡكُمۡۖ فَٱقۡرَءُواْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِۚ عَلِمَ أَن سَيَكُونُ مِنكُم مَّرۡضَىٰ وَءَاخَرُونَ يَضۡرِبُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ يَبۡتَغُونَ مِن فَضۡلِ ٱللَّهِ وَءَاخَرُونَ يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۖ فَٱقۡرَءُواْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنۡهُۚ وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُواْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَقۡرِضُواْ ٱللَّهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنٗاۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُواْ لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنۡ خَيۡرٖ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ خَيۡرٗا وَأَعۡظَمَ أَجۡرٗاۚ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرُواْ ٱللَّهَۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمُۢ

Indeed, your Lord knows, [O Muhammad], that you stand [in prayer] almost two thirds of the night or half of it or a third of it, and [so do] a group of those with you. And Allah determines [the extent of] the night and the day. He has known that you [Muslims] will not be able to do it and has turned to you in forgiveness, so recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur'an. He has known that there will be among you those who are ill and others traveling throughout the land seeking [something] of the bounty of Allah and others fighting for the cause of Allah. So recite what is easy from it and establish prayer and give zakah and loan Allah a goodly loan. And whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allah. It is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful
