Prayer

وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَٱسْجُدْ لَهُۥ وَسَبِّحْهُ لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا

bow down before Him, and glorify Him at length by night.

وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ

remember the name of their Lord, and pray.

عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ

[Our] servant to pray?

كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱقْتَرِب ۩

No! Do not obey him [Prophet]: bow down in worship and draw close.

وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓا۟ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ حُنَفَآءَ وَيُقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤْتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ دِينُ ٱلْقَيِّمَةِ

though all they are ordered to do is worship God alone, sincerely devoting their religion to Him as people of true faith, keep up the prayer, and pay the prescribed alms, for that is the true religion.

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ

So woe to those who pray

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ

but are heedless of their prayer;

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَآءُونَ

those who are all show

فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَٱنْحَرْ

so pray to your Lord and make your sacrifice to Him alone––
