I was going to do this one later.  It came to me this morning, while I was sort of half awake and half asleep.  I'm still trying to get completely over this pneumonia thing - it's a real pain.  Then I saw ...

The Qur'an, in Sura 73, encourages praying at night.  
How does this compare with what's in the Bible?
