Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Virtues of the Masjids, the Correct Etiquette, and the Virtues of Those who take care of themHaving likened the heart of the believer and what it contains of guidance and knowledge to a lamp lit with good oil shining in a clear glass, Allah then states where it belongs, which is in the Masjids, the places on earth that are most beloved to Allah. The Masjids are His houses where He Alone is worshipped.
