162. " Say: ' Verily my prayer and my worship, my life and my death are for Allah, the Lord of the Worlds."
163. " No associate (there is) for Him, and this (submission) I have been commanded to, and I am the first of the Muslims."
Commentary :
In the first verse, mentioned here, it points to the matter that the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) should tell the pagans that not only from the point of belief he is a unitarian and a monotheist, hut also, from the point of action, whatever good deed he does, including his prayer, all his worships, and even his death and life, in all, are for the sake of the Lord of the Worlds. The verse says :
" Say: ' Verily my prayer and my worship, my life and death are for Allah, the Lord of the Worlds."
That is, I am alive for Him, and I die for His sake. I devote whatever I have in His way. All my desires, the whole love of mine, and the entire existence that I have is Allah's.

In order to nullify all kinds of paganism and idolatry, in this verse, it emphasizes that Allah (s.w.t.) is the One that there is no associate and no compeer for Him. It says :
" No associate (there is) for Him, ..."
And, finally, the verse continues saysing :
"... and this (submission) I have been commanded to, and I am the first of the Muslims."
To be the first of the Muslims for the Prophet of Islam (p.b.u.h.) is either from the point of quality and importance of Islam, because the degree of his submission and his Islam was higher than all prophets, or that he was the first person of this community who accepted the religion of the Qur'an and Islam.
