Tafsir

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Verse range: 76:26

Open in Qurani

And during the night, prostrate yourself to Him, and glorify Him a long night through. This is similar to Allah's statement,

ومن اليل فتهجد به نافلة لك عسى أن يبعثك ربك مقاما محمودا

And in some parts of the night offer the Salah with it (the Qur'an), as an additional prayer (Tajhajjud) for you. It may be that you Lord will raise you to Maqam Mahmud. (17:79) Similarly, Allah also says,

يٲيها المزمل

قم اليل إﻻ قليﻼ

نصفه أو انقص منه قليﻼ

أو زد عليه ورتل القرءان ترتيﻼ

O you wrapped! Stand all night, except a little. Half of it or a little less than that, or a little more. And recite the Qur'an Tartil. (73:1-4) The Censure of Love for the World and informing about the Day of the Final Return Allah reprimands the disbelievers and those similar to them who love the world and are devoted and dedicated to it, who put the abode of the Hereafter behind them in disregard. He says;

إن هوﻻء يحبون العاجلة ويذرون وراءهم يوما ثقيﻼ
