Verily, your Lord knows that you do stand (to pray at night) a little less than two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so do a party of those with you, And Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you are unable to pray the whole night, so He has turned to you (in mercy). So, recite you of the Quran as much as may be easy for you. He knows that there will be some among you sick, others travelling through the land, seeking of Allah's Bounty; yet others fighting in Allah's Cause. So recite as much of the Quran as may be easy (for you), and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat, and lend to Allah a goodly loan, and whatever good you send before you for yourselves, (i.e. Nawafil non-obligatory acts of worship: prayers, charity, fasting, Hajj and 'Umrah, etc.), you will certainly find it with Allah, better and greater in reward. And seek Forgiveness of Allah. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.
Hakika Mola wako Mlezi anajua ya kuwa hakika wewe unakesha karibu na thuluthi mbili za usiku, na nusu yake, na thuluthi yake. Na baadhi ya watu walio pamoja nawe kadhaalika. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye anaye ukadiria usiku na mchana. Anajua kuwa hamwezi kuweka hisabu, basi amekusameheni. Basi someni kilicho chepesi katika Qur'ani. Anajua ya kuwa baadhi yenu watakuwa wagonjwa, na wengine wanasafiri katika ardhi wakitafuta fadhila ya Mwenyezi Mungu, na wengine wanapigana katika Njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Kwa hivyo someni kilicho chepesi humo, na mshike Sala, na toeni Zaka, na mkopesheni Mwenyezi Mungu mkopo mwema. Na kheri yoyote mnayo itanguliza kwa ajili ya nafsi zenu mtaikuta kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, imekuwa bora zaidi, na ina thawabu kubwa sana. Na mtakeni msamaha Mwenyezi Mungu. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye kusamehe Mwenye kurehemu.
