Aya 78
78
أَقِمِ الصَّلاةَ لِدُلوكِ الشَّمسِ إِلىٰ غَسَقِ اللَّيلِ وَقُرآنَ الفَجرِ ۖ إِنَّ قُرآنَ الفَجرِ كانَ مَشهودًا

(Saheeh International)

Establish prayer at the decline of the sun [from its meridian] until the darkness of the night1 and [also] the Qur’ān [i.e., recitation] of dawn.2 Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed.
  • i.e., the period which includes the thuhr, aṣr, maghrib, and ‘ishā’ prayers.
  • i.e., the fajr prayer, in which the recitation of the Qur’ān is prolonged.
