435. From this, we learn that a truly intelligent person is he who spends his life in the remembrance and worship of Allah, even if he does not make much material progress.

436. From this, we learn that one should remember Allah at all times and under all conditions. For this reason, Wudu has not been laid as a condition of making Zikrullah. How many people are in the state of Wudu at the time of death yet they recite the Kalima before their death.

437. From this, we learn that before making dua one should recite the praise of Allah, and call upon Allah by reciting "Oh our Lord" and that continuous recitation of "Oh our Lord."

"Most pure are You" are with the grace of Allah, a means of having one's dua accepted.

Please refer to Surah Imran ayat 190 which provides the complete commentary from verse 190 through 194.

(3:191) those who remember Allah while standing, sitting or (reclining) on their backs, and reflect in the creation of the heavens and the earth,[135] (saying): ‘Our Lord! You have not created this in vain. Glory to You! Save us, then, from the chastisement of the Fire.[136]

Ala-Maududi

(3:191) those who remember Allah while standing, sitting or (reclining) on their backs, and reflect in the creation of the heavens and the earth,[135] (saying): ‘Our Lord! You have not created this in vain. Glory to You! Save us, then, from the chastisement of the Fire.[136]


135. This means that with the help of those signs one can easily arrive at the Truth, provided one is not indifferent to God and looks at the phenomenon of the universe thoughtfully.

136. When people look carefully at the order of the universe, it becomes clear to them that it is an order permeated by wisdom and intelligent purpose. It is altogether inconsistent with wisdom that the man endowed with moral consciousness and freedom of choice, the man gifted with reason and discretion, should not be held answerable for his deeds. This kind of reflection leads people to develop a strong conviction that the After-life is a reality. Thanks to this conviction, they begin to seek God’s refuge from His punishment.

(191) Who remember Allāh while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], "Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire.
