🌿 Remembrance of (اللَّهُ) Allah and Salaah

📖 Tafseer (Commentary) of Ayah 87:15

🔹 The Power of Remembering (اللَّهُ) Allah

✅ The Zikrullah (remembrance of (اللَّهُ) Allah) has a special effect when done with a pure heart.
✅ The Saints of (اللَّهُ) Allah have a unique level of remembrance, different from common believers.
✅ Seeking duas and blessings from the pious can purify the heart.

1️⃣ Zikr and Its Spiritual Impact

✅ The effectiveness of Zikr is like a bullet—it has great impact when fired from a good rifle.
✅ A purified heart enhances the effect of remembering (اللَّهُ) Allah.


🔹 Offering Salaah with Purity

✅ It refers to performing Salaah after giving Sadaqatul Fitrah and reciting Takbeer while walking to the Eidgah.
✅ This indicates that the verse was revealed in Madinah, as Eid Salaah was established after Hijrah.
✅ One should purify the body and place before starting the prayer with Takbeer-e-Tahrima.

1️⃣ Purity of the Heart

Purity of the heart is achieved in three ways:
1️⃣ Inherent purity – Some are born with it.
2️⃣ Acquired purity – Achieved through good deeds.
3️⃣ Bestowed purity – Received through the gaze of a pious person.

✅ Just as clouds and sunlight purify the earth from afar, the gaze of the pious purifies hearts even from a distance.

📖 Conclusion:

✅ True remembrance of (اللَّهُ) Allah leads to spiritual purification and strengthens faith.
Salaah is a means of connecting with (اللَّهُ) Allah and must be performed with sincerity and purity.

Ala-Maududi

(87:15) remembering his Lord’s name[14] and praying.[15]


14. To remember Allah signifies His remembrance in the heart as well as with the tongue.

15. That is, he did not remain content only with remembering Allah but proved by performing the Prayer that he is also practically prepared to obey God in Whom he has affirmed the faith, and will remember His name as long as he lives. In this verse mention has been made of two things respectively: First, to remember Allah, then to perform the Prayer. Accordingly, the method enjoined is that the Prayer be begun with Allahu Akbar. This is an evidence to prove that all the elements of the procedure that the Prophet (peace be upon him) has taught of performing the Prayer, are based on the allusions in the Quran. But, no one else, apart from the Messenger (peace be upon him) of Allah, could by combining these injunctions and allusions give the Prayer the form that it has.

(15) And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.
