Indeed, your Lord knows that you stand [in prayer] almost two-thirds of the night or half of it or a third of it, and [so do] a group of those with you. And Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you [Muslims] will not be able to do that [regularly], so He has turned to you in forgiveness. So recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur'an. He knows that there will be among you those who are ill and others traveling throughout the land seeking [something] of the bounty of Allah and others fighting for the cause of Allah. So recite what is easy of it. And establish prayer and give zakah and loan Allah a goodly loan. And whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allah as [something] better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (20)
