Nights of Prostration
وَٱلَّذِينَ يَبِيتُونَ لِرَبِّهِمۡ سُجَّدࣰا وَقِيَٰمࣰا ٦٤
And who spend the night before their Lord, prostrate and standing.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Those who spend the night prostrating and standing before their Lord.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is their state when they retire to their homes and beds at night: they pray to their Lord sincerely; their lying down and rising are all for Allah.
Reflect
Pray two units tonight before you sleep.
