107:5
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
So woe to those who pray,
English - Five Volume Translation
So woe to those who pray,[4851]
Commentary:
Prayer represents the duties and obligations we owe to God. They are called حقوق الله (obligations due to God) in religious terminology. The verse purports to say that the prayers of those hypocritical Pharisees who do not discharge the obligations they owe to God’s creatures are a body without soul, a shell without substance. All their actions are hypocritical which, instead of doing them any good, add to their hypocrisy and insincerity.
