Heedless of Their Prayer
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَن صَلَاتِهِمۡ سَاهُونَ ٥
Who are heedless of their prayer.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Who are heedless of their prayer.
Insight
Elmalılı describes prayer as the pillar of religion and a rising up by standing before Allah with the heart. Being heedless of it is losing its spirit and meaning.
Reflect
In your next prayer, think about what you recite.
