Translation of Verse 19-20

19. Surely this is a reminder. So let whoever wills take the ˹Right˺ Way to their Lord.

20. Surely your Lord knows that you ˹O Prophet˺ stand ˹in prayer˺ for nearly two-thirds of the night, or ˹sometimes˺ half of it, or a third, as do some of those with you. Allah ˹alone˺ keeps a ˹precise˺ measure of the day and night. He knows that you ˹believers˺ are unable to endure this, and has turned to you in mercy. 1248 So recite ˹in prayer˺ whatever you can from the Quran. He knows that some of you will be sick, some will be travelling throughout the land seeking Allah's bounty, and some fighting in the cause of Allah. So recite whatever you can from it. And ˹continue to˺ perform ˹regular˺ prayers, pay alms-tax, and lend to Allah a good loan. 1249 Whatever good you send forth for yourselves, you will find it with Allah far better and more rewarding. 1250 And seek Allah's forgiveness. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.


Commentary

1248. This passage lightens the ruling mentioned in 73:2-4. So from now on, the believers do not have to stick to any of the portions specified at the beginning of this sûrah . Rather, they can pray whatever they can at night.

1249. i.e., giving for charity and good causes.

1250. The reward for your charity will be far better than what you left behind or what you have given in charity because it will be rewarded ten-fold, or even 700-fold, and Allah gives more to whoever He wills. See 2:261.
