سُورَةُ المُزَّمِّل

Al-Muzzammil, The Wrapped One

The seventy-third surah of the Qur'an, 20 ayahs, revealed in Makkah. Its last ayah came a year after the rest, to lighten the night prayer.

A lamp-lit window on a hill in the stillness of the night

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُزَّمِّلُ قُمِ ٱلَّيۡلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا

O you wrapped in your garments, arise in the night, except for a little. (73:1–2)
