The Heights
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
[7:206]
Those who are near to thy Lord, disdain not to do Him worship: They celebrate His praises, and bow down before Him.


* v.206 : The higher you are in spiritual attainment, the more is your desire and your opportunity to serve and worship your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of all the worlds: and the greater is your pride in that service and that worship.
* At this stage a Sajda or prostration is indicated, as a sign of our humble acceptance of the privilege of serving and worshipping Allah,-a fitting close to Sura in which we are led, through a contemplation of the stories of the Messengers of Allah, to the meaning of revelation and its relation to our moral and spiritual progress.
