مَرْيَم : ١١

  • فَخَرَجَ Then he came out
  • عَلَىٰ to
  • قَوۡمِهِۦ his people
  • مِنَ from
  • ٱلۡمِحۡرَابِ the prayer chamber
  • فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ and he signaled
  • إِلَيۡهِمۡ to them
  • أَن to
  • سَبِّحُواْ glorify (Allah)
  • بُكۡرَةٗ (in) the morning
  • وَعَشِيّٗا and (in) the evening
So he came out to his people from the prayer chamber and signaled to them to exalt [Allāh] in the morning and afternoon.
So he emerged before his people from the sanctuary, that is, from the temple - they had been waiting for him to open it in order to perform [their] prayers therein after his command, as was the custom - and signalled, indicated, to them, 'Make glorifications, perform prayers, at morning and evening', at the beginning of the day and [at] its end, as per usual. He then realised, upon his being prevented from speaking to them, that she was pregnant with John.
