What is the meaning of the noble verse: "A Qur’an recited in the hours of the night and the ends of the day," and what is the time during which the Qur’an is recited in the verse?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

What is mentioned in the question is not a Quranic verse. Perhaps the questioner is referring to the Almighty's saying: "They are not [all] the same; among the People of the Scripture is a community standing [for the truth], reciting the verses of Allah during periods of the night and prostrating." (Al-Imran: 113), which means that the believers among the People of the Scripture are not the same as the criminals among them; rather, among them are the believers and those who obey Allah. Or perhaps she means the Almighty's saying: "And from [periods] of the night, glorify [Him] and at the ends of the day that you may be satisfied." (Taha: 130), which means the command to be patient and glorify [Allah] during virtuous times. The meaning of both verses is general for anyone who is characterized by what is mentioned therein.
