the cycles of these days that are in constant rotation. By its rotation, it becomes many innumerable Sabbaths. The indication therein is to the existences of His Essence, the Exalted, for His creatures and His manifestations that rotate with the rotation of the high and low existences constantly, being one Essence that must all be preserved. This is because the Exalted does not accept the preservation of one manifestation without the other; rather, preservation must be for all His manifestations, according to His saying, the Exalted:

{Maintain with care the prayers and the middle prayer and stand before Allah, devoutly obedient} (Al-Baqarah 238).

We have previously mentioned the meaning of the "prayers." The Exalted emphasized the Middle Prayer just as He emphasized the Sabbath day in the Torah. This emphasis does not intend the glorification of the Sabbath over other spiritual manifestations, because the Sabbath is "Al-Dahr" (Eternity/Time) in the language.
