وَذَكَرَ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ ١٥
And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And remembers the name of his Lord and prays.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is one who says “Allahu akbar” and prays, thinking he is coming before Allah; one report includes the Eid prayer.
Reflect
At your next “Allahu akbar”, think that you are coming before Allah.
