"And make" [meaning] you two and those with you from your people "your houses a qiblah" meaning: a place of prayer so that you may worship in them while concealed from the enemies, reducing the causes of conflict. "And establish the prayer" meaning: with all of its limits and pillars, concealing from those who harm you, combining the two means of victory: patience and prayer, and training on the religion and affirming it in the heart.
