Al-Muzzammil 6

Ayah 6 of 20 · Meccan

إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ ٱلَّيۡلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطۡـٔٗا وَأَقۡوَمُ قِيلًا ٦

Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue]1 and more suitable for words.2

Translation: Saheeh International (English)

1 Another accepted interpretation of the same words is "Indeed, arising at night is more difficult...," meaning that it will only be done by sincere believers and not others.

2 i.e., for recitation of the Qur’ān and for hearing and understanding it.
