Al-Ankabut (The Spider)

Verse 45of 69

ٱتْلُ مَآ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱلْمُنكَرِ ۗ وَلَذِكْرُ ٱللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ﴿٤٥

Translation (Sahih International)

Recite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah knows that which you do.

Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

لِتُجْزَى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا تَسْعَى(that every person may be rewarded for that which he strives) (20:15).لِيَجْزِىَ الَّذِينَ أَسَاءُواْ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَيِجْزِى الَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُواْ بِالْحُسْنَى(that He may requite those who do evil with that which they have done, and reward those who do good, with what is best) (53:31).إِنَّ فِى ذَلِكَ لآيَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ (Verily, therein is surely a sign for those who believe.
