Explanation Of These Verses By Sa’di

Allah singles out for mention the noblest acts of worship, as He says: Say: Verily my prayer, my sacrifice this is because of the virtue of these two acts of worship and what they imply of loving Allah, devoting worship sincerely to Him alone and drawing closer to Him in one’s heart and by means of one’s words and actions.

Sacrifice means giving up what one loves of wealth or property for that which is dearer to one, namely Allah.

If a person is sincere in his prayer and sacrifice, he will inevitably be sincere towards Allah in all his deeds.

My living and my dying that is, whatever I do in my life and whatever Allah decrees should happen to me, and what He decrees for me at the time of my death, all of that is for Allah, the Lord of the worlds; No partner has He in worship, just as He has no partner in sovereignty and control.

This sincerity towards Allah is not something that I have made up by myself; rather (Thus I am commanded it is enjoined upon me and I have no choice but to comply and I am the first of those who submit to Allah [in Islam]) of this Ummah.
