Arabic text
إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ ٱلَّيۡلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطۡـٔٗا وَأَقۡوَمُ قِيلًا
Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue][1780] and more suitable for words.[1781]Translator’s notes (2)
- [1780]Another accepted interpretation of the same words is "Indeed, arising at night is more difficult...," meaning that it will only be done by sincere believers and not others.
- [1781]i.e., for recitation of the Qur’ān and for hearing and understanding it.
