English - Chapter 73 - Al-Muzzammil

O you who are covered with your garments

Stand the night except for a little

Half of it, or a little less than that

Or a little more, and arrange the Qur'an in its arrangement

We will place upon you a saying which is heavy

The time of the night is more effective and better for study

For you have many duties during the day

And remember the name of your Lord, and devote to Him completely

The Lord of the east and the west, there is no god except He, so take Him as a protector

And be patient over what they say, and depart from them in a good manner

And leave Me to deal with the deniers who have been given the good things, and give them time for a while

We have with Us chains and a raging fire

And food that chokes, and a painful retribution

The Day the earth and the mountains shake, and the mountains become a crumbling pile

We have sent to you a messenger as a witness over you, as We have sent to Pharaoh a messenger

But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We took him in a severe manner

So how can you be righteous when you have rejected? A Day which will turn the children white haired

The heavens will crack with it. His promise is always delivered

This is a reminder, so let he who wishes take a path to his Lord

Your Lord knows that you rise a little less than two thirds of the night, and half of it, and one third of it; and a group of those who are with you. And God measures the night and the day. He knows that you will not be able to keep-up, so He pardons you. So read what is made easy of the Qur'an. He knows that there will be sick among you, and others that go forth in the land seeking from the bounty of God, and others who are fighting in the cause of God, so read what you can of it. And hold the contact prayer and contribute towards purification and lend God a loan of righteousness. And whatever you put forth yourselves, you will find it with God, for it is better and a greater reward. And seek the forgiveness of God, for God is Forgiving, Merciful
