˹That light shines˺ through houses ˹of worship˺ which Allah has ordered to be raised, and where His Name is mentioned. He is glorified there morning and evening by men who are not distracted—either by buying or selling— from Allah’s remembrance, or performing prayer, or paying alms-tax. They fear a Day when hearts and eyes will tremble, ˹hoping˺ that Allah may reward them according to the best of their deeds, and increase them out of His grace. And Allah provides for whoever He wills without limit. Quran 24:36~38

Quran 30:14~18

And on the Day the Hour will arrive, the people will then be split ˹into two groups˺. As for those who believed and did good, they will be rejoicing in a Garden.

So glorify Allah in the evening and in the morning— all praise is for Him in the heavens and the earth— as well as in the afternoon, and at noon. Quran 30:14~18

Quran 40:55

So be patient ˹O Prophet˺, ˹for˺ Allah’s promise is certainly true. Seek forgiveness for your shortcomings. And glorify the praises of your Lord morning and evening
Ghafir (Arabic: غافر, ghāfir; meaning: “The All-Forgiving”, referring to God), also known as Al-Muʼmin (Arabic: المؤمن, ’al-mu’min; meaning: The Believer), is the 40th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur’an, with 85 verses (āyāt).

فَٱصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّۭ وَٱسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنۢبِكَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ بِٱلْعَشِىِّ وَٱلْإِبْكَرِ
There are seven Surahs (al-Mu’min, HaMim al-Sajdah, al-Shura, al-Zukhruf, al-Dukhan, al-Jathiyah, al-Ahqaf) that begin with the word “HaMim”. Thus these seven Surahs are also called “al-Hawamim”. These are Surahs of Da’wah, inviting people to believe in Allah, take advantage of the mercy of Allah. There is solace and comfort in these Surahs for the Believers who were persecuted because of their faith and they are given the good news that the truth will prevail.
تو صبر کرو بےشک خدا کا وعدہ سچا ہے اور اپنے گناہوں کی معافی مانگو اور صبح وشام اپنے پروردگار کی تعریف کے ساتھ تسبیح کرتے رہو
