Thy Lord doth know that thou standest forth (to prayer) nigh two-thirds of the
night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so doth a party of those
with thee. But Allah doth appoint night and day in due measure He knoweth that
ye are unable to keep count thereof. So He hath turned to you (in mercy): read
ye, therefore, of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knoweth that
there may be (some) among you in ill-health; others travelling through the land,
seeking of Allah's bounty; yet others fighting in Allah's Cause, read ye,
therefore, as much of the Qur'an as may be easy (for you); and establish regular
Prayer and give regular Charity; and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan. And
whatever good ye send forth for your souls ye shall find it in Allah's
Presence,- yea, better and greater, in Reward and seek ye the Grace of Allah:
for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
