Commentary
Qazay-tum – {(ye)
have performed}, this word has been derived from the word Qazaa,
which means ‘performed, completed, finished’. Here Qazaa has
been used for completion of the worship at fixed times.
Junuubi – it is
plural of Janab,
which means ‘side, sideways, to lie down towards one side and to recline’, the
aim from ‘alaa
junuubikum is
‘you recline, you lie down aside’.
Maw-quutan – (at
fixed times), this word has come out from Waqt,
which means ‘the time’.
‘Uz-kurUllaaha – (Remember Allah), Zikr means
‘remembrance’. Wird and waziifah are
hence called zikr,
because by performing these acts, a believer repeats the names of Allah (Almighty)
and supplications, memorizes them again and again.
In the previous verse, it was described, “How to offer prayer
while you are facing the enemies’ attack directly and during war condition”. It
is evident that certainly; there will be confusion, un-contentment and
narrowness during such condition. But the prayer is to be performed as and when
its time is In, in each condition (whether there is war or peace; and either
sick or on journey). But since the remembrance of Allah Almighty
cannot be fulfilled properly due to fear and confusion at such time, therefore,
it has been instructed, “Remember Allah in
the condition of standing, sitting and reclining, after performing the act of
worship (prayer)”. There is no restriction of any kind for His remembrance.
The intention of the prayer is to remember Allah Almighty,
to attend only to our Creator, our Lord, our Master returning from each side.
Therefore, whenever the peace time begins and the fear of fighting etc. is
driven back, then you should perform the act of worship in such a manner that
as the prayer has its right to be offered. All parts of the prayer should be
performed slowly; staying; regularly. Try to be in love with the remembrance of Allah Almighty.
Offer the prayer punctually in time in accord with all principles, when the
time of worship starts. However, any particular time is not fixed for the
remembrance of Allah Almighty.
You can remember Him every time in your heart.
Several matters have been manifested from these verses, which we
should keep in view in all respect. The prayer is of such kind of duty, which
cannot be warded off in any form. It will be performed somehow or other,
whether you are in the battlefield or it is the peace time, whether you are
sick or traveling or there is any trouble. Secondly the prayer at fixed times
has been enjoined on the believers. Neither it can be offered without time, nor
can it be postponed.
