Ewe uliye jifunika!
Amka uswali usiku, isipokuwa kidogo tu!
Nusu yake, au ipunguze kidogo.
Au izidishe - na soma Qur'ani kwa utaratibu na utungo.
Hakika Sisi tutakuteremshia kauli nzito.
Hakika kuamka usiku kunawafikiana zaidi na moyo, na maneno yake yanatua zaidi.
O you who wraps himself [in clothing],
Arise [to pray] the night, except for a little -
Half of it - or subtract from it a little
Or add to it, and recite the Qur'an with measured recitation.
Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word.
Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue] and more suitable for words. (Qur'an 73:1-6)
Jumaa Mubarak!
