And those who hold fast the Book and keep up the prayer; indeed We will never futile the reward of the reformers.
Without Adhikr which is the Permission of the Impartial Lord to become a believer, no one becomes a believer as explained in verse 3: 49. Prayer is commanded only to the believers and it is to establish the Book ‘Dhikree’ as explained in verse 2: 3. Without being a believer, no deed will be accepted and no prayer will be responded as explained in verses 2: 186 and 7: 8-9. Through verses 29: 45 and 35: 29 preference is given for reciting and conveying the Message of the Lord’s Book to the entire mankind, after that only prayer, charity, and all such deeds are commanded. The believer who testifies Adhikr should follow the prayer and lifestyle as explained in verses 7: 205-206. See explanation 3: 101-103; 4: 103, and 5: 48.
