📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Anbiya – Verse 20

"They glorify Him night and day and intermit not [31]."

✅ [31] Continuous Worship Without Pause

This verse emphasizes that the angels constantly glorify Allah, without rest or interruption, day and night.

Their Tasbeeh (glorifying Allah) and Tahleel (declaring His oneness) is as natural and continuous to them as breathing is to humans.

Just as we speak while breathing, the angels glorify Allah while also praying for the believers and cursing the disbelievers—there is no contradiction or pause in their devotion.

This reflects their unwavering obedience and complete dedication to the service of their Lord.
