Meditation
17:79 During the night, you shall meditate for extra credit, that your Lord may raise you to an honorable rank.
17:80 And say, “My Lord, admit me an honorable admittance, and let me depart an honorable departure, and grant me from You a powerful support.”
17:81 Proclaim, “The truth has prevailed, and falsehood has vanished; falsehood will inevitably vanish.”
It is interesting that God indicates an admittance before an honorable departure. Perhaps this is because we can be admitted to God’s Kingdom here on earth before our bodies pass.
The meditation at night is more effective, and more righteous.
