Chapter: (( Turning to Him in repentance, and fearing Him, and establishing the prayer, and not being among those who associate partners with Allah ))

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Reciter: Chapter:

[Adhere to it], turning in repentance to Him, and fear Him and establish prayer and do not be of those who associate others with Allah

منيبين إليه واتقوه وأقيموا الصلاة ولا تكونوا من المشركين

[Ar-Rum 30:31]

...

The Shaykh : His statement: "Chapter: Turning to Him in repentance" refers to the saying of Allah the Exalted:

So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.

فأقم وجهك للدين حنيفا فطرة الله التي فطر الناس عليها لا تبديل لخلق الله ذلك الدين القيم ولكن أكثر الناس لا يعلمون منيبين إليه

[Ar-Rum 30:30]

The address is to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but since his address was an address to his Ummah, he said

Turning to Him in repentance

منيبين إليه

and did not say: "Turning to Him in repentance" (singular).
And "turning to Him in repentance" (inabah) is returning, returning with humility and submission. And his statement:

And fearing Him

واتقوه

means with turning to Him in repentance, which is returning, humility, submission, and repentance. "Fear Him," fear His prohibitions. And the prohibitions of Allah revolve around two things: either leaving an obligatory act or committing a forbidden act.

And establish prayer

وأقيموا الصلاة

The establishment of the prayer is mentioned specifically because it forbids immorality and wrongdoing and helps the person to attain mindfulness of Allah. And what is meant by this is the prayer in which the heart and the limbs are united. As for the prayer of the limbs, which is the prayer of most people today, this great virtue is not attained in it, which is that it forbids immorality and wrongdoing.

and do not be of those who associate others with Allah

ولا تكونوا من المشركين

[Ar-Rum 30:31]

, so He forbade us from being among those who associate partners with Allah

[Or] of those who have divided their religion and become sects, every faction rejoicing in what it has.

من الذين فرقوا دينهم وكانوا شيعا كل حزب بما لديهم فرحين

[Ar-Rum 30:32]
