Overall meaning : Allah Almighty says: Duly perform the obligatory prayers, Muhammad, from the time when the sun has passed its zenith until nightfall (This time framework includes Dhuhr ‘afternoon’, ‘Asr ‘late afternoon’, Maghrib ‘sunset’ and Ishaa’ ‘late evening’ prayers), and perform the Fajr (dawn) prayer; the Fajr prayer is certainly witnessed by the angels of the night and the angels of the day. And rise from your sleep to pray during part of the night as well, as an additional prayer for you, so that your Lord will raise you an intercessor for the people on the Day of Judgement and thus be raised to an exalted position which will earn the praise of all mankind.

Then He enjoins him to pray to him, saying: Say, Muhammad, ‘My Lord, grant me an honourable entrance and an honourable exit in all my affairs and in all places, and grant me from Your Presence absolute proof and supporting authority to help me prevail over those who oppose me, as well as strength with which You aid me to establish Your religion.’ He further enjoins him to proclaim, saying, ‘The truth has come from Allah and prevailed over unbelief and all that opposes it, and falsehood has vanished and withered away. Falsehood is ever bound to be vanquished and to vanish without a trace.’
