(29) Say (O Muhammad SAW): My Lord has commanded justice and (said) that you should face Him only in each and every place of worship, in prayers, and invoke Him only making your religion sincere to Him by not joining in worship any partner to Him and with the intention that you are doing your deeds for Allah's sake only. As He brought you (into being) in the beginning, so shall you be brought into being (on the Day of Resurrection) [in two groups, one as a blessed one (believers), and the other as a wretched one (disbelievers)].
(Say: "My Lord has commanded justice, (fairness and honesty)''
("And that you should face Him only, in every Masjid, and invoke Him only making your religion sincere to Him...'')
This Ayah means, Allah commands you to be straightforward in worshipping Him, by following the Messengers who were supported with miracles and obeying what they conveyed from Allah and the Law that they brought. He also commands sincerity in worshipping Him, for He, Exalted He is, does not accept a good deed until it satisfies these two conditions: being correct and in conformity with His Law, and being free of Shirk.
(30) A group He has guided, and a group deserved to be in error; (because) surely they took the Shayatin (devils) as Auliya' (protectors and helpers) instead of Allah, and consider that they are guided.
- Anyone who follows a deen other than Islam has taken shaytaan as his awliya
Allah commands taking Adornment when going to the Masjid
(31) O Children of Adam! Take your adornment (by wearing your clean clothes), while praying and going round (the Tawaf of ) the Ka'bah, and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allah) likes not Al-Musrifun (those who waste by extravagance).
This honorable Ayah refutes the idolators' practice of performing Tawaf around the Sacred House while naked. Muslim, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Jarir, Sa`id bin Jubayr said that Ibn `Abbas said, "The idolators used to go around the House while naked, both men and women, men in the day and women by night. The woman would say, "Today, a part or all of it will be unveiled, but whatever is exposed of it, I do not allow.''
Allah ordered them to take adornment, meaning, wear clean, proper clothes that cover the private parts. People were commanded to wear their best clothes when performing every prayer.
- This ayah means that we must avoid both arrogance and extravagance
- We must not waste food.
- This ayah also instructs us to wear our best cloths to the masjid.
- this adornment, includes having a bath, brushing teeth, wearing perfume and wearing clean clothes to the mosque.
- The angels are offended with bad smells, just as we are.
- All these examples are important aspects of adornment.
Ibn ‘Abbas (RA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Wear white clothes, for they are (considered as) your best clothes, and enshroud your dead in them.” [Musnad Ahmad (1/247) No. 2219, Sunan Abu Dawud (4/8) No. 3878, Sunan at-Tirmidhi (3/310) No. 994, Sunan Ibn Majah (4/580) No. 3567]
"The Son of Adam will not fill a pot worse for himself than his stomach. It is enough for the Son of Adam to eat a few bites that strengthens his spine. If he likes to have more, then let him fill a third with food, a third with drink and leave a third for his breathing." An-Nasa'i and At-Tirmidhi
