[55] Surah Ar-Rahman [The Most Gracious]: Ayat 005-006


৫. সূর্য ও চন্দ্র হিসাবমত চলে
৬. এবং তৃণলতা ও বৃক্ষাদি সেজদারত আছে 

Ayat 5. The sun and the moon run on their fixed courses (exactly) calculated with measured out stages for each (for reckoning, etc.).
Ayat 6. And the herbs (or stars) and the trees both prostrate.

Tafseer of Surah Ar-Rahman Ayat 55. 5. The sun and the moon follow courses (exactly) computed; In the great astronomical universe there are exact mathematical laws, which bear witness to Allah's Wisdom and also to His favour to His creatures; for we all profit by the heat and light, the seasons, and the numerous changes in the tides and the atmosphere, on which the constitution of our globe and the maintenance of life depend. 6. And the herbs and the trees - both (alike) bow in adoration. Najm: may mean stars collectively, or herbs collectively; perhaps both meanings are implied. All nature adores Allah. Cf. 22:18; 13:15; and 16:48-49. 

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah cid:image004.gif@01D203C5.A83F5850[SAWW](PBUH) said, "The religion (of Islam) is easy, and whoever makes the religion a rigour, it will overpower him. So, follow a middle course (in worship); if you can't do this, do something near to it and give glad tidings and seek help (of Allah) at morn and at dusk and some part of night".  [Al-Bukhari Book 01, Chapter 02, Hadith # 038]

Lesson: Besides moderation in worship, this Hadith enjoins that such times should be fixed for worship when one is fresh so that one feels pleasure in performing it. But this principle is for optional and voluntary prayers only. Obligatory Salat are to be performed at the prescribed times only.
