| Muhammad The Great Exemplar | 5 O thou who art bearing a heavy responsibility, stand up in Prayer at night except a small portion thereof — Half of it, or make it a little less than that or make it a little more than that — and recite the Qur’an slowly and thoughtfully. Verily, We are charging thee with a weighty Word. Verily, getting up at night is the most potent means of subduing the self and most effective in respect of words of prayer. Thou hast indeed, during the day, a long chain of engagements. So remember the name of thy Lord, and devote thyself to Him with full devotion. (Surah Al-Muzzammil, 73:2-9) [Publishers] |
