Transliteration:( Wa minal laili fasabbihhu wa idbaaran nujoom )
"And glorify Him in a part of the night, and after the setting of the stars [60]."
This verse encourages the glorification of Allah during the night, particularly through the Tahajjud prayer and the Sunnah rak'ahs of Fajr Salah.
The great Sufis interpret this as a reminder of the night of Meraj, when the Prophet ﷺ was taken to the heavens during the latter part of the night in secrecy, symbolizing the importance of private worship.
When offering Tahajjud, it is recommended to do so silently, without disturbing others, as it is a personal connection with Allah.
The Sunnah rak'ahs of Fajr should be offered in the darkness before dawn, followed by Istighfaar (seeking forgiveness) and other remembrance (azkaar), and then the Farj rak'ahs can be offered once daylight breaks, as indicated by the phrase "after the setting of the stars."
