۞ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعۡلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدۡنَىٰ مِن ثُلُثَيِ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَنِصۡفَهُۥ وَثُلُثَهُۥ وَطَآئِفَةٞ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَكَۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَۚ عَلِمَ أَن لَّن تُحۡصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيۡكُمۡۖ فَٱقۡرَءُواْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِۚ عَلِمَ أَن سَيَكُونُ مِنكُم مَّرۡضَىٰ وَءَاخَرُونَ يَضۡرِبُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ يَبۡتَغُونَ مِن فَضۡلِ ٱللَّهِ وَءَاخَرُونَ يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۖ فَٱقۡرَءُواْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنۡهُۚ وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُواْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَقۡرِضُواْ ٱللَّهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنٗاۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُواْ لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنۡ خَيۡرٖ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ خَيۡرٗا وَأَعۡظَمَ أَجۡرٗاۚ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرُواْ ٱللَّهَۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمُۢ

20. Your Lord (Allah) knows that you (Muhammad) and a party of those with you get up for prayer almost two-thirds of the night, or half of it, or one-third of it. Allah determines (the duration of) the night and the day. He knows that you are not able to pray most of the night, so He has turned to you with forgiveness. Thus, recite what is easy (for you) of the Qur’an. He knows that some of you would be sick, and others would travel in the land seeking of the bounty of Allah, and others would fight for the Cause of God. Thus, recite what is easy from the Qur’an, and keep up the prayer, and pay the poor-rate, and lend to Allah a goodly loan⁴. Whatever good deeds you send forth for your Hereafter life, you will find it with Allah - it is better and greater in reward⁵. And ask Forgiveness from Allah - for Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

4. If you lend money to one of the people among you who is needy, do not gain profit from that and charge no interest.
5. Allah honors the giving of charity, and a person who helps the needy does Allah's will. The implication of the term "lend" suggests that Allah will repay those who are generous - not necessarily with material wealth, but in spiritual blessing.
