IntroIbn Kathir on this surah
The Hadith of Abu Waqid preceded, in which it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah would recite Qaf (Surah 53) and Al-Qamar, (Surah 54), during (the `Id Prayers of) Al-Adha and Al-Fitr.
The Prophet used to recite these two Surahs during major gatherings and occasions because they contain Allah's promises and warnings, and information about the origin of creation, Resurrection, Tawhid, the affirmation of Prophethood, and so forth among the great objectives.
