وَمِنَ
اللَّيْلِ
فَتَهَجَّدْ
بِهِ
نَافِلَةً
لَّكَ
عَسَى
أَن
يَبْعَثَكَ
رَبُّكَ
مَقَامًا
مَّحْمُودًا
wa-mina l-layli fa-tahajjad bihī nāfilatan laka ʿasā ʾan yabʿathaka rabbuka maqāman maḥmūdan
Say your special (tahajjud) prayer during some part of the night as an additional (obligatory) prayer for you alone so that perhaps your Lord will raise you to a highly praiseworthy position.
