                   his verse points out the importance of always calling upon
                   Allah, every morning and evening, seeking only His good
          T T pleasure. Prayer is a great gift, for it is a way to draw closer to
          Allah. People can pray at any time of day and wherever they are. Allah
          reveals the value of prayer in: Say: "What has My Lord to do with you
          if you do not call upon Him?" (Surat al-Furqan, 77). In another verse,
          He informs people that:
             If My servants ask you about Me, I am near. I answer the call of
             the caller when he calls upon Me. Therefore, they should re-
             spond to Me and believe in Me, so that hopefully they will be
             rightly guided. (Surat al-Baqara, 186)
             The verse then reminds people once more that this world's tempo-
          rary possessions should not affect them, because life in this world is no
          more than a trial. Surat al-Kahf reveals why this world's desirable com-
          modities (e.g., houses, cars, yachts, mansions, gold, silver, and fashion-
          able clothes) were created:
