Surah Ali 'Imran — 3:191

ٱلَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ ٱللَّهَ قِيَـٰمًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِهِمْ وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِى خَلْقِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقْتَ هَـٰذَا بَـٰطِلًا سُبْحَـٰنَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ

Allazeena yazkuroonal laaha qiyaamaiw-wa qu'oodanw-wa 'alaa juno obihim wa yatafakkaroona fee khalqis samaawaati wal ardi Rabbanaa maa khalaqta haaza baatilan Subhaanak faqinaa 'azaaban Naar

Onlar ayakta iken, otururken, yan yatarken Allah'ı anarlar; göklerin ve yerin yaratılışını düşünürler: "Rabbimiz! Sen bunu boşuna yaratmadın, Sen münezzehsin. Bizi ateşin azabından koru"

those who remember God standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: 'Our Lord, you did not create this in vain. Glory be to you — protect us from the punishment of the fire.

Reflection

Remembrance here covers every posture a body can take, upright, seated and lying down, which leaves no condition of a person outside it. The thinking that follows turns into speech, and that address carries on through the three prayers closing the surah. Those of understanding are described by what they do with their attention rather than by what they have concluded.
