In houses (mosques) which Allâh has ordered to be raised (to be cleaned, and to be honoured), in them His Name is remembered [i.e. Adhan, Iqamah, Salât (prayers), invocations, recitation of the Qur’ân etc.]. Therein glorify Him (Allah) in the mornings and in the afternoons or the evenings,

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
36-1. When Allah Almighty likened the heart of the believer, and the faith, guidance, and knowledge within it, to a lamp placed in a glass lantern and illuminated by pure and clear oil, now its place is being described: these lanterns are in such houses regarding which it has been commanded that they be raised high and that Allah's name be mentioned therein. The meaning is mosques, which are the most beloved places to Allah on earth. By elevation is not meant the elevation of stone and brick, but it also includes keeping mosques free from filth, vain talk, and inappropriate words and actions. Otherwise, merely making the buildings of mosques grand and sky-high is not the objective; rather, in hadiths, it is forbidden to excessively adorn and embellish mosques with gold and decoration. And in one hadith, this has even been mentioned as one of the signs of the nearness of the Hour.
36-2. By tasbih is meant prayer, that is, the people of faith, whose hearts are illuminated with the light of faith and guidance, perform prayers in the mosques morning and evening for the pleasure of Allah and worship Him.
