English - Chapter 73 - Al-Muzzammil

O you who are wrapped up [against cold or to go to sleep]

Keep up at night, but a little

Half of it [night] or a little less

Or a little more, and put the Quran in proper order

Indeed, We are about to send down to you a message of great importance

Indeed, rising up at night is most suitable for impression and retention of words

And keep remembering name [attribute] of your Lord, and devote yourself to Him exclusively

He is the Lord of the east and the west! None is worthy of worship but He, so entrust all your affairs to His care

Be patient on what they say, and graciously leave them alone

And leave it to Me, and those who deny the Truth, living a life of comfort! And give them a little respite

Certainly indeed, We have for them heavy fetters and a blazing Fire

And food that chokes, and painful punishment

On the Day the earth and mountains shake, and the mountains become sand dunes crumbling down

We have indeed sent a Messenger to you who is a witness over you, just as We sent a Messenger to Pharoah

But Pharoah did not obey the Messenger, so We seized him with a violent seizure

If you deny the Day that will turn the children old, then how can you become righteous

The sky will break apart whereat, as His promise is fulfilled

This, indeed, is the divine Counsel. So let him who will, take the path to his Lord

Your Lord does indeed know that you are up for nearly two-thirds of the night, sometimes one-half of it and sometimes one-third of it, as do a group among your followers. And Allah determines the duration of the night and of the day. He knows that you will not be able to keep count of it [your night vigil], so He has turned to you in mercy. Read [study], then, as much of the Qur'aan as is easy for you. He knows that some among you would be sick and some others would be travelling in search of Allah's bounty [livelihood], and yet others would be fighting for the cause of Allah. So, read, then as much of it [Qur'aan] as is easy for you. And establish the prayer, pay the Zakaat, and give Allah a good loan. And the good deed you send in advance for your souls, you will find it with Allah. That is better and greater in reward. And seek Allah's forgiveness! Allah is indeed Forgiving, Merciful
