وَاذكُرِ اسمَ رَبِّكَ بُكرَةً وَأَصيلًا
And remember the name of your Lord morning and evening.
وَمِنَ اللَّيلِ فَاسجُد لَهُ وَسَبِّحهُ لَيلًا طَويلًا
And during part of the night, prostrate yourself to Him, and glorify Him long into the night.
إِنَّ هـٰؤُلاءِ يُحِبّونَ العاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرونَ وَراءَهُم يَومًا ثَقيلًا
These people love the fleeting life, and they leave behind a heavy day.
نَحنُ خَلَقناهُم وَشَدَدنا أَسرَهُم ۖ وَإِذا شِئنا بَدَّلنا أَمثالَهُم تَبديلًا
We created them and strengthened their frames, and when We will, We will replace them with others like them.
إِنَّ هـٰذِهِ تَذكِرَةٌ ۖ فَمَن شاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبيلًا
This is a reminder. So, whoever wills, let him take a way towards his Lord.
وَما تَشاءونَ إِلّا أَن يَشاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ عَليمًا حَكيمًا
But you cannot will, unless God wills. God is ever Knowing and Wise.
