In Surah al-Hijr (15:98-99), Allah, Al-Hamid (The Praiseworthy), in these last two ayats of this surah, tells Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, and indeed all of us to glorify our Sustainer with praises and be of those who prostrate to Him and worship Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala until al-yaqeen (the certainty, the conviction) comes to us, inshallah. This is Al-Hamid’s commandment in order to help Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, and all of us to endure and face the hardships and hateful words from the enemies of Islam and Shaitan. This will help us to have more “energy, ability, illumination and sincerity.” In fact, Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, used to establish salat whenever he felt sad and the worship of Al-Hamid wiped away his grief and sadness. It is said that al-yaqeen in this ayat refers to death and the knowledge of death, the event that is certain and known to people, and when death comes the veils are lifted and the realities become certain and clear. Some people think that once you are certain of Allah and Islam, there is no need to worship Him, but this is idle foolish talk and not true. Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, possessed yaqeen and, of course, he continued worshipping Allah, praising Allah and prostrating to Allah until his death which is Allah’s commandment – to worship Him throughout our lives – as long as we are alive. Subhanallah! “Worshipping Him [Allah] is the highest level of education; it provokes one’s thought and calls one’s way of thinking towards the endless boundaries. It wipes out and washes away all the dust of sinfulness and negligence from one’s heart and soul, while inculcating supreme human values within us. It strengthens one’s faith and awareness, and makes one responsible in our affairs. It is for this reason that it would be impossible to imagine that people might be needless of this great educational school for even one moment. Those who think people may reach a stage where they will be no more in need of worshipping, either have regarded people’s development as a limited process, or they have not grasped the full meaning of worshipping.” (From An Enlightening Commentary upon the Light of the Holy Qur’an @ https://www.al-islam.org/enlightening-commentary-light-holy-quran-vol-8/section-6-people-rock#surah-al-hijr-verses-97-99)
