Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

Acts of Community: The command for prayer, Zakat, and congregational worship.

The Insight

The Children of Israel are commanded to perform the essential pillars of worship, emphasizing community participation. Connect worship to social responsibility. Prayer (a personal duty) must be immediately linked to Zakat (a social duty). Our devotion should always find expression in giving back and physically uniting with the community.
