Wasabbihoohu bukratan waaseela (surah Ahzab: 42)

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(33:42) and glorify Him morning and evening. *78

Wa sabbihoohu bukratanw wa aseela

*78) This is meant to instruct the Muslims to the effect: When the Messenger of Allah is being showered with taunts and abuses by the enemies and his person being made the target of a propaganda campaign to frustrate his mission, the believers should neither listen to these absurd things unconcerned nor should become themselves also involved in the doubts and suspicions spread by the enemies nor should resort to abusive language in retaliation, but they should turn to Allah and remember Him more than usual as a special measure, The meaning of "remembering AIlah much" has been explained in E.N. 63 above. 'To glorify Allah morning and evening" means to glorify Him constantly, to express His holiness and purity by word of mouth and not merely by counting beads on the rosary.
