Benefits from Tafseer Imam as-Sidee mentioned: “Allah informs us that in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are clear signs. This implicitly urges the servants to reflect upon these matters, observe their signs, and contemplate their creation… Allah specifically mentions “those of understanding” (أُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ) because they are the ones who truly benefit—who look at these signs with their intellects, not merely their eyesight.” Allah then describes the people of understanding (أُولِي الأَلْبَاب): They remember Allah in all their conditions: whether standing, sitting, or lying on their sides. This includes all types of remembrance, whether through the tongue or the heart, and includes prayer in all its valid postures (standing, sitting, lying down). They also reflect deeply on the creation of the heavens and the earth, in order to reach the purpose behind it all. This highlights that contemplation (التفكر) is a form of worship and a characteristic of Allah’s close friends and those who know Him.
