Explanatory translation

Explanatory translation

6Truly, rising at night and leaving your sleep is more effective for performing the prayer with reverent humility. This worship you perform at night will make you stronger in grasping the revelation. For those who cannot lift the quilt off themselves cannot lift the burden of this cause. Let those who aspire to this task know well that worship at night is very arduous. But in the silence of the night, a person comes into complete harmony with his inner world. Night worship is also more effective in helping the verses settle in the mind. It is, moreover, better suited to conscious reading.
