November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

Salaam sister.  It refers to the five obligatory prayers.   This verse implies to Tahajjud prayers after completing the five obligatory prayers along with its prostrations throughout the day.

(1) Wamina   (2) Al-layli    (3) Fasabbih hu    (4) Wa adbara   (5) l-Sujudi

A word by word translation of this would be:

(1) And of   (2) the night   (3) glorify Him   (4) and after   (5) the prostration.

As you would know, wherever in the Noble Quran the terms praise and glorification have been mentioned, these terms imply or indicate the specific timings of the five daily salaat.  Glorifying or praising Allah Almighty after being free from the prescribed prostrations refers to the voluntary prayers.  And since this verse refers to nighttime or layl, therefore, it must be Tahajjud or salaat-al-Leyl.

The words "And of the night glorify Him" could also refer to the regular obligatory Isha prayers.  Following which, the words "and after the prostration" surely refer to glorifying Allah during Tahajjud and salaat al-Leyl, that is, offering Tahajjud and/or salaat al-Leyl.  Or, it might be referring only to night prayers (Tahajjud and Leyl).  However, in either case, Tahajjud / salaat al-Leyl have been placed after the obligatory prayers.

Thanks for asking this question sister Ruhi.  It also throws some light on a question that I was undecided about - whether or not Tahajjud prayer in obligatory.  This verse might refer to Tahajjud being important but not exactly obligatory because it's mentioned as coming after the obligatory or prostrations performed during the five obligatory salaat.  The word "prescribed" has been added by Pickthall in brackets to indicate the meaning of obligatory prayers.
