FIRST REMINDER. Wednesday 2nd day of Rabeeu At-Thaani. OUR SALAAH, OUR KEY TO SUCCESS. Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
As-Salah means to worship Allaah through certain known and prescribed sayings and actions starting with takbeer saying Allaahu Akbar i.e. Allaah is the Greater, and ending with tasleem
(saying: as-salaamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatul-lahi wa barakaatuh i.e. may Allaah’s Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you).
The Merits or importance of As-Salah.
1. The Salaah Prevents us from al-Fahshaa (great sins of every kind, unlawful sexual intercourse, etc.) and al-Munkar (disbelief, polytheism, and every kind of evil wicked deed, etc.). (See Quran C: 29, V: 45).
2. It is The best of deeds after the Testimony of Faith (laa ilaaha illal-laah, Muhammad
rasoulul-laah). (See hadeeth of ‘Abdullaah ibn Mas’oud (radiyallaahu 'anhu) in Bukhari (v. 9, p. 625) & Muslim).

10. Waiting for the next prayer after performing a prayer is ribaat (keeping oneself adhering and firm on acts of obedience). (See hadeeth of Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu 'anhu) in Muslim no. 251).
