Allah The Exalted said:
*. <<O thou folded In garments! Stand [to prayer] by night lesssome of
it. Half of it, or a little less, or a little more; And recite the
Qur'an in slow, measured rhythmic tones. Soon we shall launch down
unto thee a heavy Statement.Truly the rising by night is a time when
impression is morekeen and speech more upright>> (68) .
*. <<And as for the night keep awake a part of it as an additional
prayer for thee: may thy Lord raise thee to a Praised station>> (69) .
*. <<And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; And glorify Him
a long night through>> (70) .
It is reported of the Prophet that he said: "Our Lord descends to the
lowest sky [of the seven] when the last third of the night remains,
then he says: Who is calling upon Me such that I may answer him, who
is asking Me such that I may grant him, who isrequesting My
forgiveness such that I may forgive him (71) ".
