each other and cooperate in every way possible. Also, of all
people, believers are the ones who have the highest moral

55. What kind of a life has Allah promised the
believers in this world?

The lives of those who believe in Allah in this world are
beautiful in every respect, just as their lives will be in the here-
after. Allah gives the good news to those who act righteously
that they will also be rewarded generously in this world:
To all those, male or female, who, being believers, act
rightly, We will give a good life and We will recompense
them according to their noblest deeds. (Surat an-Nahl: 97)

56. How does one pray to Allah? Is there a
specific place, time or form of prayer?
There is no specific place, time or way of praying to
Allah. Allah is closer to us than our jugular vein and He knows
and sees everything that crosses our minds, everything that
we think, everything in our subconscience, and everything
else too. Therefore, we can call to Allah and ask for His help
at any time – while walking, working at something, eating, sit-
ting, or standing. Allah defines what the attitude of one who
prays should be:
“Call on your Lord humbly and secretly...” (Surat al-
A‘raf: 55)
