Allah's eyes,-under His loving care and protection. And he must glorify Allah's name, as he is a standard-bearer of
Allah's Truth. (52.48)
5082 The translators and Commentators nearly all understand taqumu in the sense of rising up from
sleep. But the rendering I have given is consistent with Quranic usage. In xxvi. 218, we have
the same two words hina taqumu, meaning "standing forth (in prayer)". In lvii. 25, we have "liyaqum
an-nasu bil-qisti", which obviously means "that men may stand forth in justice," i.e., do
all their business in justice. In lxxviii. 38, we have yaqumu used for the angels standing forth in
ranks. On my rendering the meaning will be: 'celebrate Allah's praises when you stand forth in
prayer, or at all times when you go about your business; but also for part of the night and at
early dawn when worldly life is at a standstill.' (52.48)
56:74 - Then celebrate with praises the name of the Lord the Supreme: 5257
5257 Seeing all these Signs in nature man must turn to Allah and do His Will. (56.74)
56:96 - So celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord the Supreme. 5273
5273 Cf. lvi. 74 above. That was the conclusion of the argument about the Future from the examples of Allah's goodness in
nature. Now we have the conclusion of the same argument from Allah's revelation through His inspired Messengers.

76:25 - And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening 5856
5856 Three methods of Prayer and Devotion are mentioned: (1) to remember and celebrate the holy name of Allah always;
(2) to spend a part of the night in humble prostration; and (3) to glorify Him in the long hours of a weary night of
waiting and watching. As to (1), "morning and evening" means all the waking hours of our life, but in the special hours
of morning and evening the physical world without us, and the inner world within us, combine to make us specially
receptive of spiritual influences. The "name" of Allah includes His attributes, as a locked golden casket might include
priceless jewels. Any one may carry the casket, even though he may not be worthy to handle the jewels. If he carries
the casket, he is in potential possession of the jewels, and he hopes some time to get the key which opens the jewels
to him. So the tyro, who celebrates the holy name of Allah, hopes some day to see the "Face" of Allah and be blessed
with the privilege of proximity to His Person. For (2) and (3) see next note. (76.25)
76:26 - And part of the night prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through. 5857
5857 See last note. (2) Humble prostration to Allah means some visible mode of dedication. That is best done at night,
when the soul, free from worldly occupations, is alone with its God. (3) The weary hours of a long night are no longer
weary, but become full of meaning when we join in concert with the whole Creation, which glorifies Allah: lvii. 1.

110:3- Celebrate the Praises of thy Lord and pray for His Forgiveness: for He is Oft-Returning (in
Grace and Mercy). 6293
6293 Every man should humble himself before Allah, confess his human frailties, and seek Allah's grace;-attributing any
success that he gets in his work, not to his own merits, but to the goodness and mercy of Allah. But the Prophet of
Allah had also another duty and privilege,-to pray for grace and forgiveness for his people in case any of them had
exulted in their victory or done anything that they should not have done. (110.3)
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 8.417
Abu Huraira
Narrated by
Allah 's Apostle said, "Allah has some angels who look for those who celebrate the Praises of Allah on the roads and paths.
And when they find some people celebrating the Praises of Allah, they call each other, saying, "Come to the object of your
pursuit.' " He added, "Then the angels encircle them with their wings up to the sky of the world." He added, "(After those
people celebrated the Praises of Allah, and the angels go back), their Lord, asks them (those angels)--though He knows
better than them--'What do My slaves say?' The angels reply, 'They say: Subhan Allah, Allahu Akbar, and Alham-du-lillah.'
Allah then says 'Did they see Me?' The angels reply, 'No! By Allah, they didn't see You.'

It is the sunnah, however, to offer Fajr prayer at its early time, then head for and stop at Al-Mash'ar al-Haram till daylight
spreads before the sunrise. One should spend this time in supplication and remembrance of Allah. Allah says in the Qur'an
(2.198): "Then when you pour down from (mount) Arafah, celebrate the praises of Allah at the Sacred Monument and
celebrate His praises as He has directed you, even though, before this, you went astray. Then pass on at a quick pace from
the place whence it is usual for the multitude to do so, and ask for Allah's forgiveness. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful."
