The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.
The questioner:
This questioner asks about the noble verse in His saying, Blessed and Exalted is He: I seek refuge[An-Nahl 16:98] [Al-Fatihah 1:1] [Al-Isra 17:78].
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said to His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): "Establish prayer," meaning the obligatory prayer, which is the five prayers that Allah has made obligatory upon us in the day and the night.[Al-Isra 17:78] means the departure of the sun; when the sun departs from above the heads toward the west, the time for the midday prayer has entered. "At the decline of the sun" until the darkness of the night, which is the sunset. And the recitation of the dawn, the dawn prayer; Allah called it recitation because the recitation in it is long. Allah clarified in this verse the times of prayer in three general times, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) detailed them by his saying and his doing.
And that is the sunset. And the recitation of the dawn, the dawn prayer; Allah called it recitation because the recitation in it is long. Allah clarified in this verse the times of prayer in three general times, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) detailed them by his saying and his doing.
In every prayer in its time, when Jibril (peace be upon him) led him in the first part of the time and in the last part of it, and he said: "O Muhammad, the prayer is between these two times." The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explained, as Jibril taught him, that the prayers are five and explained their times. So the dawn is when the dawn appears, the midday is when the sun departs from above the heads toward the west, the afternoon is when the shadow of the standing object becomes twice its length, meaning its length is twice, the sunset is when the sun sets, and the last night prayer is when the red twilight disappears. These are the times of the prayer in detail. Yes.

أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ لِدُلُوكِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَىٰ غَسَقِ اللَّيْلِ وَقُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودًاThe Shaykh:
