Commands and guidance for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

Observe the service of prayer from the sun's declining from the meridian to the darkening of the night, and the recitation at dawn. Indeed the Recitation at dawn is palpably evident.

Say a supererogatory prayer at the hour of the first watch: Your Lord may raise you to a most exalted station.

And pray: "O my Lord, let my entry be with honour, and let my exit be with honour, and grant me power from You which would help (sustain) me."

And say: "Truth has come and falsehood nullified." Verily falsehood is perishable.

What We have sent down of the Qur'an is a healing and a grace for the faithful, and adds only loss for the sinners.

When We are gracious to man he turns away and moves aside; yet when evil befalls him he begins to despair.

Say: "Each one acts according to his disposition, but your Lord knows well who follow the right path."

They ask you about revelation. Say, revelation is by the command of your Lord, and that you have been given but little knowledge.
