meaning, `O Muhammad! Do not obey him in what he is forbidding from such as steadfastness in worship and performing worship in abundance. Pray wherever you wish and do not worry about him. For indeed Allah will protect you and help you, and He will defend you against the people.'

وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِبْ




Fall prostrate and draw near (to Allah)!)

This is just like what has been confirmed in the Sahih of Muslim on the authority of Abu Salih who reported from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah said,

أَقْرَبُ مَا يَكُونُ الْعَبْدُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَأَكْثِرُوا الدُّعَاء

"The closest that a servant can be to his Lord is when he is in prostration. Therefore, make abundant supplications (i.e., while prostrating)."

It has also been mentioned previously that the Messenger of Allah used to prostrate when he recited

إِذَا السَّمَأءُ انشَقَّتْ

When the heaven is split asunder. (84;1)

and,

اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِى خَلَقَ

Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created. (96;1)

This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah Al-`Alaq. Unto Allah is due all praise and thanks, and He is the Giver of success and protection against error
