Command verb

فَصَلِّ (So pray) is a command — it's telling someone to do something.

We translate it as a direct command — "[Do this]!"

Verb form II — intensified

فَصَلِّ (So pray) uses form II (فَعَّلَ) — the middle letter is doubled, which makes the meaning stronger or causative.

The meaning is more intense than the basic form, or means "to make someone do [action]".

So pray to your Lord and offer sacrifice [to Him alone].
