Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
Indeed your Lord knows that you stand
up in prayer, sometimes almost two-thirds of the night, and sometimes half
the night or sometimes a third of it - and also a group of those along
with you; Allah keeps measure of the night and day; He knows that you,
O Muslims, will not be able to measure the night, so He has inclined towards
you with mercy - therefore recite from the Qur'an as much as is easy for
you; He knows that soon some of you will fall ill, and some will travel
in the land seeking the munificence of Allah, and some will be fighting
in Allah's cause; therefore recite from the Qur'an as much as is easy for
you, and establish prayer and pay the obligatory charity, and lend an excellent
loan to Allah; and whatever good you send ahead for yourselves, you will
find it with Allah, better and having a great reward; and seek forgiveness
from Allah; indeed Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.
