You shall hold the contact prayer at both ends of the day and the near part of the night. The good deeds take away the bad. This is a reminder for those who remember.
Translation endnotes
[11:114] In the Quranic Arabic, the word layl denotes the period from sunset to sunrise (2:187). The times of the evening and dawn prayers extend from the proximate edges of night to both ends of the day. The Quran provides detailed information about sala prayer. This verse, according to the popular reading, refers to three sala prayers. Some students of the Quran understand five times rather than three times for contact prayers. There are some who have inferred two prayers a day. However, as the detected and undetected influence of sectarian teachings and practices wanes with time, the disagreement on this issue may lead to a better understanding. We should respect the differences in our understanding, as long as they are based on the Quran under the light of reason. See the Appendix Sala Prayer According to the Quran.
