*UPHOLDING THE SALAH*

*It is necessary upon you*

Allah ﷻ says 


*وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ*


_And those who strictly guard their Salah._


*أُولَٰئِكَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ مُّكْرَمُون*


_They will be in Gardens, honoured._

[70:34-35]

If you want to be from among the people of Jannah Al Firdous, Salah is necessary upon you.

If you want be among those who are praised by Allah ﷻ, Salah is necessary upon you.

If you want to be honoured by Allah ﷻ, and in Jannah?

Then Salah is necessary upon you.


And then if you want to leave Sins and Disobedience, then upon you is Salah.

Allah ﷻ says 


*إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ ۗ*

 

_Indeed Salah prohibits from Immorality and Evil,_


*وَلَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ*


_And the remembrance of Allah is greater,_


*وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ*


_And Allah knows what you do._

[29:45]


Whoever wants to stop sins and disobedience, then necessary upon them is Salah. 


Salah is the foundation of your religion! 

Praying 5 times a day is the absolute must, without it you will never improve your relationship with Allah ﷻ, nor will anything you do implement in your life be of any benefit! 


Without the Salah, the first thing to be accounted for on Qiyamah, all the other good deeds will be turned to dust!


Such a strong emphasis is upon Salah,

That Imam Abu Hanifah رحمه الله would say the person who leaves it should be imprisoned.


Ibn Al Qayyim رحمه الله wrote that Leaving Salah is worse than Murder!


So let us not leave Salah, but increase in it! 

Increase in our Nawafil and Sunan Salah and adorn ourselves with the Noor of Ibadah! 


As Prophet ﷺ said in a Hadith Qudsi that Allah ﷻ says _"And My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more beloved to Me than the religious duties I have obligated upon him. And My servant continues to draw near to me with nawafil until I Love him. When I Love him, I become his hearing with which he hears, and his sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks"_

[Hadith Nawawi No:38]


Faraa'idh (compulsory) is condition 1.

Then Nawafil (optional)..

Then Allah ﷻ loves them...

And then will anyone sin as they used to, when their senses are in tune with Taqwa? 


But it all stems from Salah.

So make the effort!


May Allah ﷻ make us among those who guard their Salah.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
