| وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَإِدْبَارَ النُّجُومِ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- min al- layl fa- sabbih. -hu wa- idbaar an- nujom |
| Pickthall | : | And in the night time also hymn His praise, and at the setting of the stars. |
| Asad | : | and extol His glory at night, and at the time when the stars retreat. |
| Malik | : | and glorify Him in a part of the night, and also as the stars fade away. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | And for part of the night also praise thou Him and at the retreat of the stars! 5083 5084 |
Note - 5083It is not necessary to understand this for any particular
canonical prayers. It is good to spend a part of the
night in prayer and praise: Cf. lxxiii. 6. And the Dawn
is a daily recurring miracle, full of spiritual
influences and "testimony": Cf. xvii. 78-79.

Note - 5084Idbar-un-nujum: the setting of the stars: the glorious
hour of early dawn. In cxiii. 1, we seek Allah's
protection as "Lord of the Dawn".
