and all praise is due to Him in the heavens and earth – and [glorify Him] in the afternoon and at noon7.

Notes

[7] The "afternoon" refers to ‘Asr prayer, and "noon" refers to Zhuhr prayer.

And His are all the praises and thanks in the heavens and the earth; and (glorify Him) in the afternoon (i.e. offer ‘Asr prayer) and when you come up to the time, when the day begins to decline (i.e. offer Zuhr prayer). (Ibn ‘Abbâs said: "These are the five compulsory congregational prayers mentioned in the Qur’ân)." [Tafsir At-Tabari]

Unto Him be praise in the heavens and the earth! - and at the sun's decline and in the noonday.

Yea, to Him be praise, in the heavens and on earth; and in the late afternoon and when the day begins to decline.

And to Him belongs praise in the heavens and the earth, and at nightfall and when you are at midday.

And to Him be praise in the heavens and the earth, and at nightfall, and while you are in your noonday.
