your lord knows that you stand up praying for nearly twothirds of the night or onehalf of it and sometimes one third of it as do others among your followers. god determines the measure of night and day. he knows that you will not be able to do it so he has turned to you in mercy. recite then as much of the quran as is easy for you. he knows that there will be some among you who may be sick and others who will be travelling throughout the land seeking gods bounty and yet others who may be fighting for the cause of god. so recite then as much of it as you are able and be constant in prayer and spend in charity and give to god a goodly loan. for whatever good deed you send on before you for your souls you will find it with god. it will be improved and richly rewarded by him. seek gods forgiveness he is most forgiving most merciful.
إن ربك يعلم أنك تقوم أدنى من ثلثي الليل ونصفه وثلثه وطائفة من الذين معك والله يقدر الليل والنهار علم أن لن تحصوه فتاب عليكم فاقرءوا ما تيسر من القرآن علم أن سيكون منكم مرضى وآخرون يضربون في الأرض يبتغون من فضل الله وآخرون يقاتلون في سبيل الله فاقرءوا ما تيسر منه وأقيموا الصلاة وآتوا الزكاة وأقرضوا الله قرضا حسنا وما تقدموا لأنفسكم من خير تجدوه عند الله هو خيرا وأعظم أجرا واستغفروا الله إن الله غفور رحيم
