Translation of Verse 78-84

78. Observe the prayer from the decline of the sun until the darkness of the night and the dawn prayer, for certainly the dawn prayer is witnessed ˹by angels˺. 534

79. And rise at ˹the last˺ part of the night, offering additional prayers, so your Lord may raise you to a station of praise. 535

80. And say, "My Lord! Grant me an honourable entrance and an honourable exit 536 and give me a supporting authority from Yourself."

81. And declare, "The truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Indeed, falsehood is bound to vanish."

82. We send down the Quran as a healing and mercy for the believers, but it only increases the wrongdoers in loss.

83. When We grant people Our favours, they turn away, acting arrogantly. But when touched with evil, they lose all hope.

84. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Everyone acts in their own way. But your Lord knows best whose way is rightly guided."


Commentary

534. This verse gives the times of the five daily prayers: the decline of the sun refers to the afternoon and late afternoon prayers, the darkness of night refers to sunset and late evening prayers, then the dawn prayer.

535. This refers to the time when the Prophet ( ﷺ ) will make intercession ( shafâ'ah ) on the Day of Judgment.

536. This verse was revealed when the Prophet ( ﷺ ) received the order to emigrate from Mecca to Medina. So here he ( ﷺ ) is praying to leave Mecca honourably and enter Medina honourably. It can also apply to any worldly activity that a person starts and finishes.
