طه : ١٣٠

  • فَٱصۡبِرۡ So be patient
  • عَلَىٰ over
  • مَا what
  • يَقُولُونَ they say
  • وَسَبِّحۡ and glorify
  • بِحَمۡدِ with praise
  • رَبِّكَ (of) your Lord
  • قَبۡلَ before
  • طُلُوعِ (the) rising
  • ٱلشَّمۡسِ (of) the sun
  • وَقَبۡلَ and before
  • غُرُوبِهَاۖ its setting
  • وَمِنۡ and from
  • ءَانَآيِٕ (the) hours
  • ٱلَّيۡلِ (of) the night
  • فَسَبِّحۡ and glorify
  • وَأَطۡرَافَ (at the) ends
  • ٱلنَّهَارِ (of) the day
  • لَعَلَّكَ so that you may
  • تَرۡضَىٰ be satisfied
So be patient over what they say and exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night [exalt Him] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied.
So be patient with what they say - this is abrogated by the 'fighting' verse [cf. Q. 2:190ff] - and make glorifications, pray, by praising your Lord (bi-hamdi rabbika is a circumstantial qualifier, in other words, 'ensconced in such [praise]') before the rising of the sun, the morning prayer, and before its setting - the afternoon prayer - and in the watches of the night, [during] the hours thereof, and make glorifications, perform the sunset and the evening prayer, and at either side of the day (wa-atraafa'l-nahaari, a supplement to the syntactical locus of the accusative clause wa-min aanaa'i, 'and in the watches'), in other words, perform the noon prayer, because the time for it begins at the point where the sun starts to go down, which is the [end] side of the first half [of the day] and the [start] side of the second half [of the day]; that perhaps you may be pleased, with the reward that you will be given.
