Glorify Your Lord When You Rise — Dhikr Linked to Times
فَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ وَمِنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ فَسَبِّحۡهُ
— الطور الآية 48
Verse: "Glorify your Lord when you rise — and some of the night glorify Him — and at the setting of the stars." (52:48-49) — Glorification at different times: rising (for prayer or from sleep), during the night (tahajjud), at dawn (disappearing stars). Wisdom: dhikr tied to a time becomes a repeating worship — daily remembrance habits are built on time anchors.
