Commentary
Zulafa – (watches/parts of night),
this word is plural of zulfatun. Zulfatun is that part of the
night which is adjoining to that part of the day.
Allah Almighty taught His Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him) about the Rules pf Practice regarding the life
of the Muslims and commanded that at first, you should act upon these verses,
so that other Muslims do the same in your imitation naturally. You should
establish prayer (worship) at both ends of the day i.e. beginning and ending of
the day (morning and evening) at fixed times, and determine some watches of
night also for offering the prayer.
In accordance with this commandment, Messenger of
God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) established two
prayers in the first part of the day {(Fajr – (the dawn of the day) and Zuhr
– midday (the time immediately after the declining of the sun)}, one prayer in
the last part of the day {‘Asr (afternoon prayer)}, and two prayers in
the first part of the night {Magrib – (evening prayer) and ‘Ishaa’
– (the prayer of the first watch of the night)}.
Accordingly, prayer of these five times is
compulsory for the Muslims to be offered. The person who may not offer any
prayer of these times due to any excuse, he should offer the omitted appointed
prayer afterwards. And the individual who could not attend congregational
prayer due to any reason, he should offer it alone separately.
“The Prayer” is such an act which is performed
purely; only for God, Allah Almighty. Without any doubt, it is a best work. Due
to any error or omission, influence of any person or seducing by anyone else, some
times a person talks unreasonably. This prayer is expiation for such little
sins, because it is a prescribed rule that bad works are reduced to nothing by
performing good works. It should be remembered that there should not be any shortness
in offering the prayer.
Then, it is commanded that these prayers should be
established being bound, regularly and steadily. It aims “Patience”. Allah
Almighty does not destroy reward of any individual’s good work.
