WHAT IS THE
PURPOSE OF OUR CREATION SURAH DHARIYAT 51:56 AND WHAT IS THE MOST PRACTICAL WAY TO REMEMBER AND WORSHIP ALLAH
الصالة خ ُْذ ِم ْن َأ ْم َوا ِله ِْم َصدَ قَ ًة ت َُطهّ ُِرمُه ْ َوتُ َز ِّك ِهيم هِب َا َو َص ِ ّل عَلَهْي ِ ْم ۖ َّن َصاَل تَ َك ِ ِ ِإ َس َك ٌن لَّه ُْم ۗ َواهَّلل ُ مَس ي ٌع عَل ٌمي 9:103 - Salah in the above ayah means to make du’a RULING ON SALAH
From Fard obligations on a Muslim
FARD FARD AYN KIFAYAH
SALAH History of Salah We know from the Quran that….. Salah has existed from the time of Prophet Ibrahim as in the verse : “Our Lord, I have settled some of my descendants in an uncultivated valley near Your sacred House, our Lord, that they may establish prayer”. Surah Ibrahim: 37
To Prophet Musa – to Prophet Yunus – to Prophet Esa to Prophet
Muhammad
In Islam – In the early stage i.e. 2 to 3 years after the first
revelation – initially, salah was legislated 2 times a day , one in the morning and one in the evening ( we know this from Seerah)
Later we were prescribed 5 times prayers a day
WHEN WAS THAT??? Israa wal Meeraj ANY DOUBTS OR QUESTIONS Importance of Salah 1) Direct communication with Allah The closest a person is to His Lord is when he is in prostration. “ It is you we worship and You we ask for help” Quran 1:5
2) A pillar of Islam Prayer is the second most important pillar of Islam, and is the most regular compulsory action in a Muslim’s life. Prayer is the one act that must be fulfilled at least five times a day, regardless of the circumstance . In fact, Allah did not even exempt the Muslims from praying during the battle! He says: “Guard strictly your (habit of) prayers... If you fear (an enemy), pray on foot, or riding.”Qur’an 2:239 If this is the case in the time of war, then what about in peace?
3) Success lies in the Prayer
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “The first of his deeds for which a man will be called to account on the Day of Resurrection will be the prayers. If it is found to be perfect, he will be safe and successful. But if it is defective, he will be unfortunate and a loser.” 4) Shields against evil Man was created weak and without seeking help from Allah, it will be impossible to refrain from evil. Allah says: “Verily, prayer restrains (oneself) from shameful and wrongful deeds...” Qur’an 29:45
5) Enriches the soul
Man is forgetful, especially with the our busy lifestyles. Prayer satisfies our spiritual need to be in contact with our Creator. This gives the soul peace and contentment. Allah says, “Without doubt, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.”Qur’an 13:28
6) Makes us humble By realizing Allah’s greatness and dependence on our Lord, man is humbled and rids us from pride and arrogance. In the prayer, the Muslim puts the highest part of his body and source of intellect, his head, on to the ground and says, “How perfect is my Lord, The Most High.” Humbleness is one of the qualities which Allah has associated with success. He says, "Successful indeed are the believers, who are humble in their prayers.”Qur’an 23:1-2 7) Washes away sins Everyone commits sins, however, Allah has provided, in prayer, a way to wipe out those sins. Allah says:“And perform prayer… surely the good deeds remove the evils deeds.”Qur’an 11:114 The Messenger gave a beautiful example when he said to his companions: “Consider if one of you had a river by his door in which he bathed five times a day. Would any filth remain on him?” They said, “No.” Then the Prophet replied: “Likewise, Allah wipes away sins with the five daily prayers.”
8) Cures our Problems
Man is surrounded by numerous trials and problems. Once we focus on strengthening our relationship with our Lord, He, who is All-Powerful, we will automatically fix our worldly problems. Allah says, "Seek help in patience and prayer.”Qur’an 2:153 ANY DOUBTS OR QUESTIONS LETS REVISE OUR BASICS POSTURES OF SALAH
