We remember the day of judgment. We all want to get the rewards and gifts on that day and we don’t want Allah to be angry with us or punish us.
So we say:

نَسْتَعِينُ (5)

we ask for help.

With Your help, everything is possible.
Praying on time, studying Qur’an, studying other subjects, listening to parents, teachers, being nice to people, avoiding bad things, …

7. Let us practice at least 3 times
To make Allah happy – He is watching; with understanding; and with feelings (that we try our best to be like this).
Of course, when we say this, we will try our best today and everyday to practice it. Otherwise, it will be lie and Allah hates a liar.
