Ramadan Reflection 1- 2025 Dr Abdul Wahid

Last night during Taraweeh, a simple yet profound moment unfolded. The imam recited a short passage from Surah Al-Baqarah, including the ayah:

“Establish the Salah, give the Zakah, and bow down with those who bow.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:43)

Immediately upon reaching this command, he made takbir and went into ruku, and we all followed.

This incident made Dr. Wahid reflect: Isn’t this how we should treat all of Allah’s commands?

🔹 When we hear “Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High”, we say Subhana Rabbiyal A‘la.

🔹 When we hear “Send blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ”, we say Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammad.

🔹 But why don’t we apply the same principle to the rest of the Quran’s commands?
