Sura 39
Aya 9
9
أَمَّن هُوَ قانِتٌ آناءَ اللَّيلِ ساجِدًا وَقائِمًا يَحذَرُ الآخِرَةَ وَيَرجو رَحمَةَ رَبِّهِ ۗ قُل هَل يَستَوِي الَّذينَ يَعلَمونَ وَالَّذينَ لا يَعلَمونَ ۗ إِنَّما يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُو الأَلبابِ

Ali Quli Qarai

Is he who supplicates1 in the watches of the night, prostrating and standing, apprehensive of the Hereafter and expecting the mercy of his Lord … ?2 Say, ‘Are those who know equal to those who do not know?’ Only those who possess intellect take admonition.
  • Or ‘is obedient.’
  • Ellipsis. The omitted phrase is, ‘like someone who is not such?’
