Significance of Salah in Islam
Significance of Salah in Islam
Salah is the fundamental pillar of Islam, which signifies piety, devotion, and remembrance in abundance, few vitalities that are the essence of worshipping Allah Almighty. The importance can be extracted from the fact that no excuses will be acceptable when it comes to Salah and is the foremost thing regarding which Allah will ask in grave.
Establishment of Salah is the core topic on which Quran has emphasized many a times along the benefits associated with this ritual. Salah in Quran and Islamic narrations has addressed as the way of absolution, the solace, and sheer path towards the contentment of hearts.
Salah leads to Taqwa:
The prime objective of a Muslim is to achieve the level of piety as it has declared the right level on which a Muslim will be having distinction in sight of Allah. Whatever the teachings of Islam impart, the focus is to attain the level of piety and Salah is the main practice making a practitioner pious and invigorate the bond between the believer and the lord. In Quran Allah says:
“This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guidance for those who have Taqwa: who believe in the unseen, and who establish Salah, and spend out of what we have provided for them.” [2:2-3]
Eternal Reward:
Whatever deed a person undertakes in this life it will be rewarded in hereafter, the life of which is eternal. This life is permanent and the eternal abode is the life of hereafter. Salah entails innumerable and countless bounties, which will be rewarded by Allah Almighty in the life after death. Quran has clear understandings regarding this to which it attests as:
“Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds and establish prayer and give Zakat will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.” [2:277]
Stay Connected with Allah:
When azan is proclaimed a Muslim, establish prayers five times a day, which stay a believer connected with the worshipping lord. Those who want to seek Allah’s blessings and want to strengthen their relation with the magnanimous lord, for them Salah is the main ritual in order to achieve what they are looking for. In short performing a salat prayer is a means of staying in spiritual bond to the exalted lord.
“And when you have completed the prayer, remember Allah standing, sitting, or [lying] on your sides. But when you become secure, re-establish [regular] prayer. Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times.” [4:103]
Protection from Satan:
Satan is in continuous efforts to detract the believers from their righteous path. Salah makes one closer to Allah and far from the tricks of Satan that he has planned for the humans to fall them in tribulations. The paramount thing that is necessary for Salah is ablution, which removes impurities and cleanses the physical state of a Muslim while the spiritual cleansing is achieved through pure intentions. Ablution five times a day wards off Satan and safeguards a Muslim from falling into the path of sins.
“Satan only wants to cause between you animosity and hatred through intoxicants and gambling and to avert you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. So will you not desist?” [5:91]
Salah is an effective weapon in fighting against lewdness and in protecting a Muslim when established regularly. Allah has emphasized in Quran direly to never miss Salah as it is the practice of the believer which delineates a Muslim from the non-believer. To be a distinguished in the sight of Allah establish Salah and take care of it because no one knows when life will end as it never comes with second editions.
(14) O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well- acquainted with all that ye do.
( سورة النساء , An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #135)
(Arabic, Transliteration, Urdu, Yusuf Ali, Shakir, Picthal, Mohsin Khan, French, Spanish, Indonesian, Melayu, German, Bosnian,Russian)
(16) O ye who believe! stand out firmly for Allah, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear Allah. For Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.
( سورة المائدة , Al-Maeda, Chapter #5, Verse #8)
(Arabic, Transliteration, Urdu, Yusuf Ali, Shakir, Picthal, Mohsin Khan, French, Spanish, Indonesian, Melayu, German, Bosnian,Russian)
(17) The word of thy Lord doth find its fulfilment in truth and in justice: None can change His words: for He is the one who heareth and knoweth all.
( سورة الأنعام , Al-Anaam, Chapter #6, Verse #115)
(Arabic, Transliteration, Urdu, Yusuf Ali, Shakir, Picthal, Mohsin Khan, French, Spanish, Indonesian, Melayu, German, Bosnian,Russian)
(18) Say: "Come, I will rehearse what Allah hath (really) prohibited you from": Join not anything as equal with Him; be good to your parents; kill not your children on a plea of want;- We provide sustenance for you and for them;- come not nigh to shameful deeds. Whether open or secret; take not life, which Allah hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus doth He command you, that ye may learn wisdom.
( سورة الأنعام , Al-Anaam, Chapter #6, Verse #151)
(Arabic, Transliteration, Urdu, Yusuf Ali, Shakir, Picthal, Mohsin Khan, French, Spanish, Indonesian, Melayu, German, Bosnian,Russian)
knowledge
“O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).” (Quran 49:13) (Translation)
From Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Jesus (ASW) and the last Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the messengers of Allah, we got only one message. That is that if you want to succeed in this world and the hereafter, you must worship One Allah, and not to worship your Nafs and desires.etc. Your path without the light of Quran and sunnah, leads you into darkness. Fact is fact and just guessing is an illusion.
History has thousands of years of scripture containing teachings of common good such as morality, fairness, family value and justice. And they all teach that we are dependant upon one almighty God and humility in this world will bring us closer to our creator. There is no power except the Almighty and we know this…we see this everyday, but we ignore it. So please read and understand the Quran, the miracle granted to Muhammad (SAW); over 1400 years since it came down and not even one punctuation mark changed.
Islam taught us to enjoy common good with communities and humanity as large, as we are children of one man. We need to understand our differences and find a solution. So work to attain unity. And it will soon be your time to lead. Please lead with patience, wisdome and justice, to your own self and the community. If you don’t respond to this call now…your generations to come shall suffer.
Be aware of the greatest propaganda of our times of “Islamic Terrorism”, “Islamic Extremism” and “Fundamental Muslims”, and try to change it. Ironically the label comes from those, who have been planning and executing the Muslim Holocaust in various parts of the world- to cover their own racism, greed and religious bigotry. Look at the majestic history of Muslims. The history of Islam. Understand the Quran and Sunnah. Islam is the most civilized way of life, and any individual can practice universally. It is natural, acceptable by who study with an open mind and clear heart. It is a religion of Adam, Abraham, Musa, Jesus and Muhammad (SAW).
We all are in need and may Allah give us true understandings and practicing Islam in every aspect of life. Do your best and trust in Allah.
“And how could we not place our trust in God, seeing that it is He who has shown us the path which we are to follow? Hence we shall certainly bear with patience whatever hurt you may do us: for, all who have trust (in His existence) must place their trust in God (alone)” (Quran 14:12)
“O our Sustainer! We have wronged our own souls: If thou forgive us not and bestow not upon us Thy mercy, we shall certainly be lost” (Quran 7:23)
“O our Sustainer! Shower us with patience in adversity and make firm out steps and succor us against the people who deny the truth.” (Quran 2:250)

The Decisive Criterion between the Awliyaa of The Most Merciful and the Awliyaa of Shaytaan Indeed the enmity between man and Shaytaan is old, commencing from the time that Adam (alayhi as-salaam) was created, from the time he was ordered to prostrate to him. Shaytaan refused, become arrogant and hence disobeyed his Lord. His arrogance and pride let him to commit a whole host of sins, it made him expend every effort in misleading the children of Adam and made him beautify and embellish sins such that they accepted them and eagerly committed them Due to this Allah the exalted revealed the Books sent the Messenger and enjoined His servants to various injunctions and admonitions in order to secure them from the evil of Shaytaan. In the light of His advice, profound injunctions and admonitions in order to secure them from the evil of Shaytaan. In the light of His advice, profound injunctions and sever warnings, mankind becomes separated into two groups: a group who were guided and a group who deserved to be misguided. The groups who were guided are the inhabitants of Paradise and the groups who were misguided are the denizens of the Fire. The inhabitants of Paradise are the Awliyaa of the Most Merciful and the denizens of the Fire are the Awliyaa of Shaytaan.
