    ۞ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ اَنَّكَ تَقُوْمُ اَدْنٰى مِنْ ثُلُثَيِ الَّيْلِ وَنِصْفَهٗ وَثُلُثَهٗ وَطَاۤىِٕفَةٌ مِّنَ الَّذِيْنَ مَعَكَۗ وَاللّٰهُ يُقَدِّرُ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَۗ عَلِمَ اَنْ لَّنْ تُحْصُوْهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْرَءُوْا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْاٰنِۗ عَلِمَ اَنْ سَيَكُوْنُ مِنْكُمْ مَّرْضٰىۙ وَاٰخَرُوْنَ يَضْرِبُوْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ يَبْتَغُوْنَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللّٰهِ ۙوَاٰخَرُوْنَ يُقَاتِلُوْنَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۖفَاقْرَءُوْا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُۙ وَاَقِيْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَاَقْرِضُوا اللّٰهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًاۗ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوْا لِاَنْفُسِكُمْ مِّنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوْهُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ۙهُوَ خَيْرًا وَّاَعْظَمَ اَجْرًاۗ وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا اللّٰهَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ ࣖ

    Inna rabbaka ya'lamu annaka taquumu adna min tsulutsayillaili wanishfahu watsulutsahu wathaa-ifatun minal-ladziina ma'aka wallahu yuqaddirullaila wannahaara 'alima an lan tuhshuuhu fataaba 'alaikum faaqrauu maa tayassara minal quraani 'alima an sayakuunu minkum mardha waaakharuuna yadhribuuna fiil ardhi yabtaghuuna min fadhlillahi waaakharuuna yuqaatiluuna fii sabiilillahi faaqrauu maa tayassara minhu waaqiimuush-shalaata waaatuuzzakaata wa-aqridhuullaha qardhan hasanan wamaa tuqaddimuu anfusikum min khairin tajiduuhu 'indallahi huwa khairan wa-a'zhama ajran waastaghfiruullaha innallaha ghafuurun rahiimun

    (O Prophet), your Lord knows that you sometimes stand up in Prayer nearly two-thirds of the night, and sometimes half or one-third of it, and so does a party of those with you; Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you cannot keep an accurate count of it, so He has shown mercy to you. So now recite as much of the Qur'an as you can. He knows that there are among you those who are sick and others who are journeying in the land in quest of Allah's bounty, and still others who are fighting in the cause of Allah. So recite as much of the Qur'an as you easily can, and establish Prayer, and pay Zakah, and give Allah a goodly loan. Whatever good you send forth for yourselves, you shall find it with Allah. That is better and its reward is greater. And ask for Allah's forgiveness; surely He is Most Forgiving, Most Compassionate.
