Question:
The questioner asks: What is the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted, "And the remembrance of Allah is greater," in His saying:[Al-'Ankabut 29:45]?
Answer:
The meaning of the verse is that the prayer encompasses two things. The first is that it forbids what is shameful and what is wrong. The second is that it contains the remembrance of Allah through tasbih, tahlil, takbir, and recitation of the Qur'an; all of it is remembrance. The entire prayer is remembrance, and this is greater than the first benefit, which is enjoining good and forbidding evil. Greater than that is the remembrance of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
