THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al Khamis, 15th day of Muharram (Thursday 3rd Sept. 2020). OUR SALAAT MUST BE A PRIORITY IN ALL WE DO. BismilLah.
Observance of Salaat serves as the concrete expression of thankfulness and appreciation to our Creator and Sustainer. After each prayer, we not only feel peace and tranquility but also self-fulfillment because we have performed the primary commandment of ALLAH. It gives us hope that ALLAH will forgive our sins as HE is Most Forgiving (39:53; 53:32). If we sincerely pray to HIM, HE will surely answer our prayer.
"And your RABB ALLAH says: 'Call on ME; I will answer your (invocation). But those who are too arrogant to serve ME will surely enter Hell abased.'" (40:60) If we pray to ALLAH, HE will bless our life here on earth and in the Hereafter. The Qur'an teaches us to have a well-balanced life as shown in the following supplication to ALLAH:
And of them there are some who say:
"...Our RABB (Only GOD and Sustainer) give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter. And save us from the torment of the Fire!" (2:201).
Performance of Salat develops in us optimistic outlook in life because we know that we are praying to the only True ALLAH (47:19) Who is Most Forgiving (39:53; 53:32) and Whose guidance we seek for help (1:1-7). HE rewards those who sincerely pray to HIM with everlasting reward, Paradise (23:1-2, 9-11). This we should believe because ALLAH'S promise is true and sure (10:4). HIS promise is the truth; no one's word can be truer than HIS Word (4:122). Allahu Akbar. Quran is so sweet and heart cleanser.
May ALLAH keep guiding us all and increase us in wisdom and beneficial knowledge. Aameen.
