73:2Stay up during the night, except a little.

73:4Or add to it; and chant the Quran rhythmically.

73:5We are about to give you a heavy message.

73:6The vigil of night is more effective, and better suited for recitation.

73:7In the daytime, you have lengthy work to do.

73:8So remember the Name of your Lord, and devote yourself to Him wholeheartedly.

73:9Lord of the East and the West. There is no god but He, so take Him as a Trustee.

73:10And endure patiently what they say, and withdraw from them politely.

73:11And leave Me to those who deny the truth, those of luxury, and give them a brief respite.

73:14On the Day when the earth and the mountains tremble, and the mountains become heaps of sand.

73:16But Pharaoh defied the Messenger, so We seized him with a terrible seizing.

73:17So how will you, if you persist in unbelief, save yourself from a Day which will turn the children gray-haired?

73:18The heaven will shatter thereby. His promise is always fulfilled.

73:20Your Lord knows that you stay up nearly two-thirds of the night, or half of it, or one-third of it, along with a group of those with you. God designed the night and the day. He knows that you are unable to sustain it, so He has pardoned you. So read of the Quran what is possible for you. He knows that some of you may be ill; and others travelling through the land, seeking God’s bounty; and others fighting in God’s cause. So read of it what is possible for you, and observe the prayers, and give regular charity, and lend God a generous loan. Whatever good you advance for yourselves, you will find it with God, better and generously rewarded. And seek God’s forgiveness, for God is Forgiving and Merciful.
