Book Name:Din Raat Kesay Guzarain
states in the holy Quran:
فَسُبۡحٰنَ اللّٰہِ حِیۡنَ تُمۡسُوۡنَ وَ حِیۡنَ تُصۡبِحُوۡنَ )۱۷(

that the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ
وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:
“The angels of the day and night come to you in succession, and they gather at
the time of Fajr and ꜤAṣr prayers. Then, those who have stayed with you ascend,
and their Lord asks them, even though He is well-aware, “In which state did you
