Ankabut 45 describes prayer together with turning away from evil and the remembrance of Allah. This connection suggests that worship should not be limited to certain moments but should also be reflected in one's behavior. For the detailed practice of prayer, one may consult a reliable guide on Islamic jurisprudence (ilmihal).

The verse mentions reciting the revealed book and performing prayer together. The aspect of prayer that deters from evil and the value of remembering Allah are emphasized. This framework allows for thinking about worship not as a period of time consisting only of certain movements, but together with a person's orientation and behavior.

Stopping during the day to remember what we are oriented towards can create an interval where we can also review our relationships. For example, evaluating our own words after a hurtful argument or realizing that we have delayed a right are concrete equivalents of thinking about the link between worship and morality.

However, it would not be a correct interpretation to definitively measure the value of a person's worship or their inner world based on a single behavior. The call of the verse can primarily be considered as a reminder of responsibility towards our own lives. The times, conditions, and practice of prayer are subjects of detailed information in Islamic jurisprudence.
