THE RATIONAL AND BENEFITS OF SALAT (Islamic Prayers)

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 6th day of Swafar 1447AH, Thursday, 31st July 2025.

*_THE RATIONAL AND BENEFITS OF SALAT (Islamic Prayers)_*. BismilLah. 


Before we jump into the topic, let me mention what our scholars have said about the beauty of Islam. 

Islam, which means complete and peaceful submission to the Will of ALLAH (God) and obedience to HIS Law, is the perfect religion and the complete way of life for all mankind. One of the very significant Aayat (Qur'anic verses) that ALLAH finally revealed to Prophet Muhammad(may the peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him), clearly states that Islam is perfect. ALLAH, the (only) God in heaven and on earth (43:84) and our Creator (2:21), says in the Glorious Qur'an:

"...This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion..." (5:3). Allahu Akbar. 


Islam provides us with complete guidance for every aspect of our lives. It solves all sorts of problems facing humanity now and in the future, be it physical, material or economic, socio-cultural, political, legal, religious and spiritual, and the like. Everything it enjoins us to do is for our benefit. An example of this is the performance of Salat (Islamic prayers), particularly the five compulsory daily prayers. ALLAH Azzawajal commands us to perform Salat (2:110; 4:103; 20:14) for our benefit and not because HE needs it as HE is free of any need. HE does not depend on anyone. ALLAH alone possesses all power. HE is the All-Knowing, the Powerful (42:50), the Almighty, the Wise (59:24). When HE desires a thing HE only says 'Be' and it is (36:82). In other words, nothing is impossible to Him. HE is the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds (1:2). All creatures depend on HIM (11:6). To HIM belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. HE creates what HE wills (42:49). HE enlarges and restricts provisions to whom HE wills (49:12). True prayer is due to HIM Alone (13:14). We have to worship ALLAH Azzawajal Alone (6:102, 103; 11:1-2) because HE commands us to worship HIM. ALLAH Azzawajal says:


"That is ALLAH your Rabb(Lord)! There is NONE but HE, the Creator of all things; then you worship HIM: and HE has the power to dispose of all affairs. No vision can grasp HIM, but HIS Grasp is over all vision; HE is Subtle, Well-Aware." (6:102-103). Allahu Akbar. Isn't this beautiful and peace of mind way of worshiping such a powerful power and avoid the confusions of other ways of worship? *_May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.

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 ...

As Time passes

 ╔✽̤̥̈̊‎​​ As Time passes ✽̤̈̊╗ Abdullah bin Mas’ud & said: “Indeed I hate to see a man idle, neither working for this world nor for the Hereafter.”  Hasan Basri sé said: “O son of Adam, indeed you are only but a number of days.
