Allah says, translating into English...
[24:35]
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth.The example of
His lightis like a niche within which there is a lamp,the lamp is encased in a glass,
the glass is like a radiant planet,
which is lit from a blessed olive tree that is neither of the east nor of the west, its oil nearly gives off light even if not touched by fire.
Light upon light,
Allah guides to His lightwhom He pleases.And Allah sets forth examples for the people,
and Allah is aware of all things.
Salah and Yu'Salli
Allah does Salah? Or is, "Yu'Salli" something else?
[33:41] O you who believe,
you shall remember Allah frequently.[33:42] And glorify Him morning and evening.
[33:43] He is the One who Yu'Salli's you, along with His angels,
to bring you out of darkness and into the light. And He is ever Merciful towards the believers.
Remembrance
[24:36]
In houses that Allah has permitted to be built and His name mentioned in them.
He is glorified therein in the mornings and the evenings.
[24:37]
By Rijaal not distracted by trade or sale from
the remembrance of Allahandestablishing the Salah, and contributing towards Zakat.They fear a Day when the hearts and sight will be overturned.
[20:14]
"I am Allah, there is no god except Me, so serve Me and
establish the Salah for My remembrance."
What Salah does,
[29:45]
Recite what is inspired to you of the Book and establish the Salah, for the Salah prohibits immorality and vice; but
certainly the remembrance of Allah is the greatest. Allah knows everything you do.
Related to
[16:90]
Allah orders justice and goodness and that you shall help your relatives, and He prohibits immorality and vice and transgression.
He warns you that you may remember.
Dua...
[14:39]
"Praise be to God who has granted me to my old age Ishmael and Isaac; my Lord is Hearer of the prayer."
[14:40]
"My Lord,
let me establish the Salah, and also from my progeny. Our Lord,and accept my prayer (dua)."
[14:41]
"Our Lord, forgive me and my parents, and the believers on the Day the reckoning is called."
[14:42]
And do not think that Allah is unaware of what the wicked do. He is merely delaying them to a Day when all eyes are watching.
