M.Pickthall
20. Lo! thy Lord knoweth how thou keepest vigil sometimes nearly two thirds of the
night, or (sometimes) half or a third thereof, as do a party of those with thee.
Allah measureth the night and the day. He knoweth that ye count it not, and turneth
unto you in mercy. Recite, then, of the Quran that which is easy for you. He knoweth
that there are sick folk among you, while others travel in the land in search of
Allah's bounty, and others (still) are fighting for the cause of Allah. So recite
of it that which is easy (for you), and establish worship and pay the poor due
and (so) lend unto Allah a goodly loan. Whatsoever good ye send before you far
your souls, ye will surely find it with Allah, better and greater in the
recompense. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Yusuf Ali
20. The Lord doth know that thou standest forth (to prayer) nigh two- thirds of the
night or half the night or a third of the night and so doth a party of those with
thee. But Allah doth appoint Night and Day in due measure. He knoweth that ye are
unable to keep count thereof. So He hath turned to you (in mercy): read ye
therefore of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knoweth that there
may be (some) among you in ill-health; others travelling through the land seeking
of Allah's bounty; yet others fighting in Allah's Cause. Read ye therefore as
much of the Qur'an as may be easy (for you); and establish regular Prayer and
give regular Charity; and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan. And whatever good ye
send forth for your souls Ye shall find it in Allah's presence yea better and
greater in Reward. And seek ye the Grace of Allah: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving
Most Merciful.
