Then Allah says: اًمْوَي َنْوُفاَخَي ِةوٰكَّزلا١۪ۙ ِءٓاَتْيِا َو ِةوٰلَّصلا ِماَقِا َو ِهّٰللا ِرْكِذ ْنَع ٌعْيَب اَل َّو ٌةَراَجِت ْمِهْيِهْلُت اَّل ٌلاَجِر١ۙ S u rah an-N u r, 24:38 — ُراَصْبَاْلا َو ُبْوُلُقْلا ِهْيِف ُبَّلَقَتَت In this verse God Almighty says that the people who are the com- panions of Muhammad s as are such that their buying and selling does not stop them from the or from offer- ing their S al a t or from the payment of their Zakat, because they fear the day when the eyes and the hearts will be overcome. Here a form of the is mentioned that is distinct from S al a t. The fourth kind of dhikr God informs us of is that the attrib- utes of God Almighty should be proclaimed openly before the people. The proof of this is as follows: اَلْنُنْمَت َو ْرُجْهاَف۰۰ َزْجُّرلا َو ْرِّهَطَف۰۰ َكَباَيِث َو ْرِّبَكَف۰۰ َكَّبَر َو ْرِذْنَاَف۰۰ ْمُق ۰۰ ُرِّثَّدُمْلا اَهُّيَاٰۤي ** S u rah al-Muddaththir, 74:2–8 — ْرِبْصاَف۰۰ َكِّبَرِل َو ُرِثْكَتْسَت۰۰ * S u rah an-Nis a ’ , 4:104 [Publisher] ** O you who has wrapped yourself with your mantle! Arise and warn. And your Lord do extol. And your garments do purify. And uncleanliness do shun, And bestow not favours seeking to get more in return, And for the sake of your Lord do endure patiently. [Publisher]
