📖 Commentary of Surah As-Saffaat – Verse 165

"And indeed, we wait [165] for the command, spreading our wings."

✅ [165] The Angels’ Vigilant Readiness

This verse portrays the angels as awaiting Allah’s command attentively, symbolized by their spreading wings, ready to act instantly.

Alternatively, it reflects the angels engaged in worship in straight rows, demonstrating perfect order and discipline.

From this, we learn that in prayer (Salaah) and even in holy war, believers should arrange themselves in straight, orderly rows, emulating the angels’ exemplary formation.

This resemblance underscores the importance of unity, discipline, and readiness in acts of devotion and collective endeavors.
