Afternoon and Noon
وَلَهُ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَعَشِيࣰّا وَحِينَ تُظۡهِرُونَ ١٨
Unto Him be praise in the heavens and the earth! - and at the sun’s decline and in the noonday.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
To Him is all praise in the heavens and earth, and in the late afternoon and when you are at noon.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, these two verses point to the five daily prayers: evening, morning, afternoon and noon, with the night prayer included in the evening.
Reflect
See your five daily prayers as glorification.
