مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ ۖ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْهَىٰ
عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنكَرِ ۗ وَلَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ
مَا تَصْنَعُونَ (45)
Recite (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) what has been revealed to you of the Book (the Qur’ân), and perform As-Salât (Iqamât-as-Salât).
Verily, As-Salât (the prayer) prevents from Al-Fahshâ’ (i.e. great sins of
every kind, unlawful sexual intercourse) and Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief,
polytheism, and every kind of evil wicked deed)[2] and the
remembering (praising) of (you by) Allâh (in front of the angels) is greater
indeed [than your remembering (praising) of Allâh in prayers]. And Allâh knows
what you do. [Sûrah 29. Al-‘Ankabût Ayah 45]
[2] It is said by Ibn’Abbâs and ‘Abdullâh bin Mas’ûd رضى الله عنهما: If the Salât
(prayer) of anyone does not prevent him from Al-Fahshâ’ and Al-Munkar (all
kinds of evil, illegal and sinful deeds), then his Salât (prayer) increases him in nothing but loss, and to be far away from his Lord (Allah) [Tafsīr Al-Qurtubī].
