Issue : Preparation for Salah with Khushu’ Surah Al-Mu’minun (23:1-10) Allah ﷻ tells in this verse that the believers have succeeded even though they have not yet been admitted to paradise. This is because we may think that "success" is after successfully entering heaven. But the believers while in the world are already successful. Only they may not notice. This is a very high fortune. The word فلح is also found in the call to prayer where we are all invited to success. The word أفلح is also used for farmers when they harvest their crops; which means that these believers are successful after they have tried. As farmers who have worked all year and when the time comes, they will reap the fruits of their labor. Working as a farmer is of course difficult, as they have to work all year round but the crops can only be harvested once a year. And so is the parable of the Believers, that is, they should be diligent in doing good deeds and take care of themselves and they will get t...
Surah Al-Ankabut (29:45) When this surah was revealed the companions were being tortured and oppressed, so what did they need to do? They have to follow what is conveyed in the Qur’an. Must read and understand, then practice. And then have to convey to others. So the Prophet Muhammad and his companions had to convey the teachings of the Qur’an to mankind.

So, although this verse seems to be literally directed to the Prophet Muhammad, but it is also an instruction for us as well. Because we must also continue the work of the Prophet to convey the teachings of the Qur’an to mankind. The meaning of...
Surah At- Taubah (9:60) The foolish hypocrites objected and criticized the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. in the division of zakat property. So Allah s.w.t. said explaining it, "60. It is really just charity" Sadaqah here means zakat, because sadaqah sunnat is not only addressed to these eight asnafs. Those who are entitled to receive zakat are, "for the poor," Fuqara or the poor are people who can not afford / miserable (do not have the property to meet the needs of themselves and the needs of the people they bear) as well as do not have the energy to meet their livelihood, such as very old and disabled. "and the poor," Masakin or the poor are people who do not have enough livelihood and are in a state of deprivation, not good at work and do not want to beg. Some say that the poor are the ones who take care of themselves and do not beg for human beings (even though they are very necessary), while the poor are the people who beg, go around and look for human bein...
