The Night Journey - Al-Israa

And surely they had purposed to turn you away from that which We have revealed to you, that you should forge against Us other than that, and then they would certainly have taken you for a friend.

And had it not been that We had already established you, you would certainly have been near to incline to them a little;

In that case We would certainly have made you to taste a double (punishment) in this life and a double (punishment) after death, then you would not have found any helper against Us.

And surely they purposed to unsettle you from the land that they might expel you from it, and in that case they will not tarry behind you but a little.

(This is Our) course with regard to those of Our apostles whom We sent before you, and you shall not find a change in Our course.

Keep up prayer from the declining of the sun till the darkness of the night and the morning recitation; surely the morning recitation is witnessed.

And during a part of the night, pray Tahajjud beyond what is incumbent on you; maybe your Lord will raise you to a position of great glory.

And say: My Lord! make me to enter a goodly entering, and cause me to go forth a goodly going forth, and grant me from near Thee power to assist (me).
