  • إِنَّ لَكَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبْحًا طَوِيلًا

    Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation.

  • وَٱعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ ٱلْيَقِينُ

    And out of His mercy He made for you the night and the day that you may rest therein and [by day] seek from His bounty and [that] perhaps you will be grateful.

  • وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَأَدْبَٰرَ ٱلسُّجُودِ

    And [in part] of the night exalt Him and after prostration.
