English - Chapter 73 - Al-Muzzammil

O you wrapped up in your garment

Rise to pray in the night except a little (or but not all night)

Half of it, or lessen it a little

Or add to it, and recite the Quran as it ought to be recited

Surely We will make to light upon you (charge you with) a weighty Word (or message)

Surely the vigil of the night is the most potent for the soul (to receive impressions) and the best for framing speech (or the Words of prayer)

And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with exclusive (and wholehearted) devotion

(He is) The Lord of the East and the West - there is no God but He - therefore, take Him for a protector

And bear patiently what they say and avoid them with a becoming avoidance (or leave taking)

And leave Me to deal with the rejecters, the possessors of ease and plenty, and bear with them a little

Surely with Us are heavy fetters and a raging fire

And food that chokes and a painful doom

On the day when the earth and the mountains shall quake and the mountains shall become (as) heaps of running sand

Surely We have sent unto you a Messenger, a witness against you, as We sent a Messenger to Pharaoh

But Pharaoh disobeyed the Messenger, so We seized him with a violent grip

How, then, will you guard yourselves, if you disbelieve, on the day which shall make children grey-headed (with stress)

The heaven shall rend asunder thereby; His promise is ever brought to fulfilment

Surely this is a reminder, let then him, who will, take the way to his Lord

Your Lord does know that you stand in prayer nearly two-thirds of the night, and sometimes half of it, and sometimes a third of it, and so also do a party of those with you; and Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you are not able to keep
