Eighth: that He has made it the conclusion of righteous deeds, just as it was their beginning.

Ninth: stating that those devoted to it are the ones who benefit from His signs, and that they—rather than others—are the people of understanding.

Tenth: that He has made it the companion and spirit of all righteous deeds; whenever they lack it, they are like a body without a soul.

— As for the first—commanding it both unconditionally and in qualified terms—it is exemplified by the words of the Exalted: “O you who believe, remember Allah often and glorify Him morning and evening. He is the One who bestows His blessings upon you, and His angels pray for you, so that He may bring you out of darkness into light. He is ever merciful to the believers.” 1 And by His words: “Remember your Lord within yourself, humbly and fearfully.” 2

— As for prohibiting its opposite, it is exemplified by His words: “Do not be among the heedless.” 3 And by His words: “Do not be like those who forgot Allah, so He caused them to forget themselves. It is they who are defiantly disobedient.” 4

— As for making success conditional upon remembering Him abundantly, it is exemplified by His words: “Remember Allah often, so that you may succeed.” 5

الثامن: أنّه جعله خاتمة الأعمال الصالحة، كما كان مفتاحها. التاسع: الإخبار عن أهله بأنّهم هم أهل الانتفاع بآياته، وأنّهم أولو الألباب دون غيرهم. العاشر: أنّه جعله قرين جميع الأعمال الصالحة وروحها، فمتى عدمته كانت كالجسد بلا روح. ثم قال ﵀ في بيان تفصيل هذه الأوجه العشرة: ـ أمّا الأوّل: وهو الأمر به مطلقاً ومقيّداً، فكقوله تعالى: ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا اللهََ ذِكْراً كَثِيراً وَسَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلاً، هُوَ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَلاَئِكَتُهُ لِيُخْرِجَكُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَكَانَ بِالمُؤْمِنِينَ رَحِيماً﴾ ١، وقوله تعالى: ﴿وَاذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ تَضُرُّعاً وَخِيفَةً﴾ ٢. ـ وأمّا النهي عن ضدّه فكقوله: ﴿وَلاَ تَكُنْ مِنَ الغَافِلِينَ﴾ ٣، وقوله: ﴿وَلاَ تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ نَسُوا اللهَ فَأَنسَاهُمْ أَنفُسَهُمْ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الفَاسِقُونَ﴾ ٤. ـ وأمّا تعليق الفلاح بالإكثار منه فكقوله: ﴿وَاذْكُرُوا اللهَ كَثِيراً لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ﴾ ٥. ـ وأمّا الثناء على أهله وحسن جزائهم فكقوله: ﴿إِنَّ المُسْلِمِينَ وَالمُسْلِمَاتِ وَالمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالمُؤْمِنَاتِ﴾ إلى قوله ﴿وَالذَّاكِرِينَ اللهَ كَثِيراً وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ
