"Prayer", Salah"


Alsalamu 3leikom,
 Thought I might start with this topic because it's the first thing asked after you lie down in your grave and on the day of judgment 'Yom alqiyama'. Prayer "Salaah" is our only connection to Allah, the only place where we can talk to Allah when fully submitted. 

  Nowadays people consider not praying as something normal and that one day they will start praying. But what if you don't live to the day where you say you'll start praying? What if you die today before tomorrow and go meet Allah with an empty plate? More bad deeds than good. As Muslims we all appreciate the fact that we eventually go to heaven "Jannah". Eventually is not enough tho, one day in hell "Jahannam" is worth 50,000 earth years, what if you're only condemned in hell for one day and one day only. We can't bare Earth's fire for 50,000 years nevertheless the fire of hell "Jahannam. The fact that every Muslim eventually goes to heaven for people who don't pray is that this fact doesn't apply to them. Muslims who don't pray are considered non-muslims and should be jailed and asked to pray and repent. If they don't apply to what they're told to do then they should be executed.You didn't think it was this big did you? Would you like the fact that you're on the same level of "kufr" as the ones who the prophet fought and had killed after they refused to become Muslims?

I'm sure many of you don't want that and didn't know that not praying was this huge. Start praying today before tomorrow because you never know when your soul will be caught and you will be judged on the last things you have done so be sure to make duaa  the Angel of death catches your soul while you're doing something good "7usn El-khatima". Even for those who pray they have to be focused on their prayers and not pray in a hurry"الذين هم عن صلاتهم ساهون". Their is a special valley called Saqar for those who don't pray AND those who aren't assured in their prayers and just pray to be over with a duty. It's a valley full of blazing flames burning the faces of those who did not believw truly. The prophet(PBUH) used to ask Bilal ibn Rabah to call for the Prayer "Salaah" so they would be relieved with it and not from it. A muslim man said he started submitting to his prayers and connecting to Allah after twenty whole years of praying. A man once came to the mosque the prophet was staying in and prayed in a hurry, but the prophet sent him back and told him to pray again because he did not pray. Never give up and always ask Allah to put faith and serenity in your heart so you can pray with peace unaware of this worthless world.

This won't be the last time I talk about this issue, but I will once I learn more about it Inshaa Allah. If you don't pray then start praying now and not later and if you already do then go to youtube.com and learn how to pray according to Sunnah so your prayers would be accepted.

Please leave comments if you have any questions,
Thank you.
