* Note 002:046. The Command اسۡتَعِيۡنُوۡا بِالصَّبۡرِ وَالصَّلٰوةِ (Seek God’s help with perseverance and prayer) was mandated for the Children of Israel (002:046). Later exactly those words came down for Moslems (002:154). Obligating Moslems to five daily prayers can be inferred from 002:154, but not from 002:046 as it is a part of an historical account that started by addressing the Children of Israel (002:041 to 002:097). Some of those 56 verses did tell Moslems to avoid specified malpractices by earlier nations but primarily they are addressed to the Children of Israel by reminding them as is summarized in our Commentary ‘Are Jews and Moslems alike- 002:046?’.
