‘The guilty’ refers to the influential people who led the campaign against Truth, and who provided arguments in support of the denial of Truth. When Doomsday dislocates the system of the world, the guilty will suddenly realise that the supports, of which they had been proud, were without foundation. The words which supplied uncontradictable arguments in favour of their stand, will prove false. Witnessing contrary conditions to their expectations will shatter their illusions, leaving them dumbfounded. On the Day of Judgement, human beings will be divided into two groups—those who glorify God and offer praises to Him and those who do quite the reverse. The people of the first group realise God to the extent that He becomes the sole topic of their conversation. A definite manifestation of this glorification of God is the prayers offered five times a day. In this verse, the offering of praises ‘in the morning’ means the fajr prayer. The prayers of maghrib and isha are included in the words 'in the evening'. Prayer at midday is called zuhr, while the late afternoon prayer is called asr. o NOTICE Subscribers are requested to inform us about non-receipt of their copies, latest by 18th of the month providing their full name and address.
