ٱتْلُ مَآ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱلْمُنكَرِ ۗ وَلَذِكْرُ ٱللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ
18:28.
اُتْلُ (Utlu) 的意思是: 宣告; 宣传; 宣读; 背诵; 复述, 信奉 (Lane)。
这节经文讲了三件事: 宣传和宣读 «古兰经», 固守拜功和记念安拉。做这三件事的目的是人类从罪恶的束缚中解救出来以及帮助他们提高自己的道德和精神。对安拉活的、有生气的信仰, 是一切降示的宗教的基本原则, 因为这种信念能有力地阻止人类邪恶的倾向和行动。这就是 «古兰经» 反复讲述安拉的存在并谈及他伟大的力量、光荣和仁爱以及极大地强调以伊斯兰拜功的形式来记念安拉的理由。这种拜功, 如果能按照它必需的条件来完成的话, 必然会提高并达到思想和行动的纯洁性。
تَـلَا کے معنے پڑھنے اور تَـلَا عَلَیْہِ کے معنے سنانے کے ہوتے ہیں۔ اور چونکہ عربی میں بعض دفعہ صِلہ حذف کر دیا جاتا ہے۔ اس لئے اس کے دونوں معنے کیے جا سکتے ہیں۔ پڑھنا بھی اور سُنانا بھی۔
18:28.
Utlu means, proclaim; preach; read, recite, rehearse, follow (Lane).
Three things have been mentioned in this verse, viz. preaching and reading of the Qur’an, observance of Prayer and the remembrance of Allah. The purpose of all three is to deliver man from the bondage of sin and to help him to rise morally and spiritually. A living faith in a Supreme Being is the basic principle of all revealed religions because it is this faith that can serve as a potent and effective check on man’s evil propensities and actions. This is why the Qur’an reverts again and again to the subject of God’s existence and speaks of His great power, glory and love and lays the greatest emphasis on Divine remembrance in the form of the Islamic Prayer, which, if performed with all its necessary' conditions, purity of mind and actions is the inevitable result.

Commentary:
Three things have been mentioned in this verse, viz. preaching and reading of the Quran, observance of Prayer and the remembrance of Allah. The purpose of all three is to deliver man from the bondage of sin and to help him to rise morally and spiritually which is the supreme object of all Divine Books. A living faith in a Supreme Being to Whom man has to render an account of all his actions after his death in a new life is the basic principle of all revealed religions and their great aim is to create and inculcate such faith because it is this faith that can serve as a potent and effective check on man’s evil propensities and actions. This is why the Quran reverts again and again to the subject of God’s existence and speaks of His great power, glory and love and lays the greatest emphasis on Divine remembrance of which the Islamic Prayer constitutes the most complete form; and of which—if performed with all its necessary conditions—purity of mind and actions is the inevitable result. Observance of Prayer, however, demands the fulfilment of the following five conditions:
1. One should be regular in saying Prayers.
2. Prayers should be said punctually at their appointed hours and in accordance with the prescribed rules.
3. One should be humble in spirit and should not allow one’s thoughts to wander away while saying Prayer.
4. Prayers should be said in congregation.
5. One should exhort others also to be regular and punctual in saying Prayers.
ذکر الله may mean, (1) man’s glorification of God, or (2) God’s remembrance of man, i.e. His raising him to a place of honour and eminence and spreading his good reputation. The verse purports to say that if you remember God and glorify Him, He will bestow honour and renown upon you and will make you eminent and respected in the world. See also 23:10.
