Al-Muzzammil 73:5
The Enshrouded One · Meccan · Juz 29 · Page 574
A Weighty Word
إِنَّا سَنُلۡقِي عَلَيۡكَ قَوۡلࣰا ثَقِيلًا ٥
For we shall charge thee with a word of weight.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
We will cast upon you a weighty word.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is the Qur’an and the mission of prophethood, very hard to bear and carry out, containing heavy duties and responsibilities. Rising at night prepares for this burden.
Reflect
Gather strength for your responsibilities through night worship.
