Transliteration:( Innaneee Anal laahu laaa ilaaha illaa Ana fa'budnee wa aqimis-salaata lizikree )

14. Verily I am Allah there is none worthy of worship but Me, so worship Me and establish Prayer for My remembrance (15).

Surah Ta-Ha Ayat 14 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

15. From this, emerge a few issues: 

1. After faith, Salaah is the most important obligation. 

2. Salaah should be offered for the remembrance of Allah Almighty and not for showing others.

3. That even Allah Almighty remembers that person who offers Salaah because the meaning of this verse is that you establish prayer, and in return, I will remember you.

 

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Ta-Ha verse 14 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Taha ayat 11 which provides the complete commentary from verse 11 through 16.

(20:14) Verily I am Allah. There is no god beside Me. So serve Me and establish Prayers to remember Me.[9]

9. This is the real object of Salat. It has been prescribed to remind people that they should not become neglectful of Allah by worldly diversions and that they should remember that man is not an unbridled free being but a servant of Allah. Salat has been prescribed five times a day to remind man of Allah’s presence.

Some people are of the opinion that it means:

Establish Salat, so that I may remember you. Incidentally, according to this verse, if one forgets to offer a prayer in time, he should offer it when he recollects it. This is also supported by a tradition related by Anas: If one forgets to offer a certain prayer at the proper time, he should offer it whenever he recollects this, for there is no other expiation for this omission. (Bukhari, Muslim, Ahmed). There is another tradition related by Abu Hurairah to the same effect. It was inquired from the Prophet (peace be upon him): What should we do if we remained asleep during the time of prayer? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: There is no sin if one remained asleep. The sin is that one should neglect his prayer intentionally while awake. Therefore if one forgets to offer a prayer or remained asleep, he should offer that prayer on remembering it or on awaking. (Tirmizi, Nasai, Abu Daud).
