Surah Al-Muzzammil (المزمل) — The Enshrouded One

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُزَّمِّلُ

73:1. O you who wraps himself [in clothing]

قُمِ ٱلَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

73:2. Arise [to pray] the night, except for a little -

نِّصْفَهُۥٓ أَوِ ٱنقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا

73:3. Half of it - or subtract from it a little

أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ تَرْتِيلًا

73:4. Or add to it, and recite the Qur’ān with measured recitation.

إِنَّا سَنُلْقِى عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًا ثَقِيلًا

73:5. Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word.

إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ ٱلَّيْلِ هِىَ أَشَدُّ وَطْـًٔا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا

73:6. Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue] and more suitable for words.

إِنَّ لَكَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبْحًا طَوِيلًا

73:7. Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation.
