Oh, you who believed! You seek help with patience and prayer; indeed, Lord Allah is with those who are having patience.
As Adhikr is codified as the Best Interpretation of Lord’s Book, without It nobody can become a believer as told in verse 10: 100. And without being a believer, prayer will not be responded and deeds will not be accepted as explained in verse 2: 186. Prayer is commanded to maintain the Book Dhikree as told in verse 20: 14. So, to the Fujjar who didn’t testify the Book Dhikree, at the time of death Lord will tell him: “You didn’t testify the Truth, so you didn’t perform the prayer, but you rejected and turned back” as told in verses 75: 31-32. The Fujjar’s appeal will not be responded to, instead, it will increase astray as told in verses 13: 14 and 40: 50.
The servant is closest to his Lord in the prostration. As there is no group of believers anywhere in the world today, the odd believer should read Adhikr in the dusk and dawn, and do the prolonged “Prostration of Recitation” seeking for help and forgiveness to his Lord as explained in verses 7: 205-206. Those who are having patience are the believers who are preferring the eternal Hereafter instead of this temporary bodily and worldly life. They have confidence that the ‘Three-Time-Knower Lord’ is Oft-Observing them, and with His remembrance, no harm will affect them either on the earth or heaven. It is told in verse 16: 128: “Indeed, the Lord is with those who are heedful and who are living under the Light of the Best Book Adhikr”. In short, whoever holdfasts Adhikr, he did holdfast Lord and is guided into the Straightpath as explained in verses 3: 101-102 and 4: 174-175.
Verse 8: 46 also ends as: “Indeed, Lord Allah is with those who are having patience”. Both verses 2: 249 and 8: 66 end as: “And Lord Allah is with those who are having patience”. See explanation 2: 43-45, 132, and 3: 200.
