Ayat 130. So bear patiently (O Muhammad 
[SAWW](PBUH) what they say, and glorify the praises of your Lord
before the rising of the sun, and before its setting, and during some of the
hours of the night, and at the sides of the day (an indication for the five
compulsory congregational prayers), that you may become pleased with the reward
which Allah shall give you.
[Tafseer]
Therefore be patient with what
they say, and celebrate (constantly) the praises of thy Lord, before the rising
of the sun, and before its setting; yea, celebrate them for part of the hours of
the night, and at the sides of the day: that thou mayest have (spiritual)
joy. All
good men must be patient with what seems to them evil around them. That does not
mean that they should sit still and do nothing to destroy evil; for the fight
against evil is one of the cardinal points of Islam. What they are told is that
they must not be impatient: they must pray to Allah and commune with Him, so
that their patience and faith may be strengthened, and they may be able the
better to grapple with evil. For they thus not only get strength but inward
spiritual joy. Taraf, plural atraf, may mean sides, ends, extremities. If the day be compared to
a tubular figure standing erect, the top and bottom are clearly marked, but the
sides are not so clearly marked: they would be atraf (plural), not tarafayn (dual). Now the prayer before
sunrise is clearly Fajr t that before sunset is 'Asr: "part of the hours of the night"
would indicate Maghrib (early night, just after sunset), and 'Isha, before going to
bed. There is left Zuhr, which is the indefinite side or middle of the day; it may be
soon after the sun's decline from noon, but there is considerable latitude about
the precise hour. The majority of Commentators interpret in favour of the five
Canonical prayers, and some include optional prayers. But I think the words are
even more comprehensive. A good man's life is all one sweet Song of Praise to
Allah.
Hazrat Abu Hurairah
(May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "He
who goes to the masjid in the morning or in the evening, Allah prepares for him
a place in Jannah whenever he goes to the masjid in the morning and returns from
it in the evening.''
[Al-Bukhari Book 01,Chapter 11, Hadith #
631]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Taha Ayat 130."glorify the praises
of your Lord before the rising of the sun, and before its setting," This Hadith points out the merit of going on
foot to the mosque for Salat, no matter whether one goes in the morning or the
evening. In fact, the heart of a Muslim should be attached to mosques and on
account of this, he goes there at all the prescribed hours of Salat to perform
his Salat in congregation.
