The Meaning of His Saying: “Indeed, he has succeeded who purifies himself and remembers the name of his Lord and prays”

Question:
May Allah reward you. In the last of her questions, she asks: What is the interpretation of the saying of our Lord, Glorified and Exalted is He: ?

Answer:
As we mentioned, *tazakka* means he purified himself from sins and disobedience, and he also purified his wealth, such as by paying the zakah, which is a pillar of Islam. So the meaning is that he purified himself by cleansing it from sins and disobedience, and he also purified his wealth in which zakah is obligatory, because he paid it in the prescribed manner. And *fasalla* means he performed the five obligatory prayers required of him. It is also said that the meaning of *tazakka* is that he paid the zakat al-fitr, and *fasalla* means he prayed the 'Id prayer on the day of 'Id al-Fitr. There is no doubt that this is included in the meaning of the verse, because zakat al-fitr is part of the zakah that is obligatory to pay, and the 'Id prayer is part of the prayer that is commanded. Yes.
