1256. Commentary:
The choice and adherence to this recitation is recommended (mustahabb), and from a semantic perspective, it holds special significance in that, at the very beginning of the day, a Muslim declares his disavowal from disbelief and disbelievers, and affirms and acknowledges the oneness (tawhid) of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, as well as His names and attributes. Furthermore, mention of other recitations will come ahead.
