20 Say: I only call upon my Lord, and associate naught with Him. |
21 Say: I control not evil nor good for you. |
22 Say: None can protect me against Allāh, nor can I find any refuge besides Him: |
23 (Mine is naught) but to deliver (the command) of Allāh and His messages. And whoever disobeys Allāh and His Messenger, surely for him is the Fire of hell, to abide therein for ages, |
24 Till when they see that which they are promised, they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in numbers. |
25 Say: I know not whether that which you are promised is nigh or if my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. |
26 The Knower of the unseen, so He makes His secrets known to none, |
27 Except a messenger whom He chooses. For surely He makes a guard to go before him and after him, |
28 That He may know that they have truly delivered the messages of their Lord; and He encompasses what is with them, and He keeps account of all things. |
1 O thou covering thyself up! |
2 Rise to pray by night except a little, |
3 Half of it, or lessen it a little, |
4 Or add to it, and recite the Qur’ān in a leisurely manner. |
5 Surely We shall charge thee with a weighty word. |
6 The rising by night is surely the firmest way to tread and most effective in speech. |
7 Truly thou hast by day prolonged occupation. |
8 And remember the name of thy Lord and devote thyself to Him with (complete) devotion. |
