<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Step 2 – Check to see if the time of prayer has arrived</span></h4>
<div class="x-text cs-ta-left" style="box-sizing: border-box; min-width: 1px; text-align: left;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Each of the five daily prayers has its own specified time in which it must be performed. Here are the general guidelines:</div>
</div>
<div class="x-text cs-ta-left" style="box-sizing: border-box; min-width: 1px; text-align: left;">
<ol style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em 1.655em; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.8;">Fajr – before dawn</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.8;">Dhur – at noon</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.8;">Asr – in the afternoon</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.8;">Maghrib – sunset</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.8;">Isha – nightfall</li>
</ol>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
The wisdom behind the prayers being spread throughout the day is so that Muslims are constantly reminded about Allah. These are opportunities for Muslims to seek forgiveness, increase our faith, and seek guidance.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Fortunately we have prayer timetables and smartphone apps that can tell us when it is time to pray. Use these tools to your advantage so you never miss a prayer.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Make sure to wear clothing that covers the necessary parts of your body. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) instructed the men to cover from the naval to the knee. As for the women, he instructed them to cover their body except for her face and hands. This is known as the “awrah.”</div>

<div class="x-text cs-ta-left" style="box-sizing: border-box; min-width: 1px; text-align: left;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
It is very important to pray in a place that is generally clean. If it isn’t clean, you can use a carpet to cover the area you will be praying.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
You can also pray on many different surfaces such as grass, sand, concrete, etc.</div>

<b>What is Wudu?</b><br />
Before we can perform salah we need to prepare ourselves mentally, physically, and spiritually. A large portion of this preparation is what is known as wudu. It is a purification process that every Muslim must perform before their prayer can be performed.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.byislam.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/img-hand-washing-597x330.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.byislam.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/img-hand-washing-597x330.png" data-original-height="330" data-original-width="597" height="220" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
It is such an important part of the salah that if anyone decides to leave it due to ignorance, forgetfulness, or negligence then their prayer will not be accepted by Allah.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:<br />
<br />
“No salah is accepted without wudu (purification)”<br />
Sahih Muslim, Book 2, Hadith 2<br />
<br />
Step 1 – Make your intention to perform wudu<br />
The first step is to understand that you are about to begin the process of wudu so that you can perform salah. There are no words or special statements that need to be said here. Creating the intention is a matter of the heart and mind.<br />
<br />
Step 2 – Say Bismillah<br />
This is a critical part of making wudu. Before we begin to our wash ourselves we need to say Bismillah (In the Name of Allah). You can say it silently to yourself.<br />
<br />
Step 3 – Wash Your Hands Three Times<br />
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us to begin with our right side first. That means you will need to wash your right hand from the fingertips to the wrist three times.<br />
<br />
Make sure water touches every part of the hand. Afterwards perform the same actions with your left hand three times.<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 4 – Rinse Your Mouth Three Times<br />
Take some water into your right hand and rinse your mouth three times. Do this thoroughly to clean your mouth properly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 5 – Sniff Water Into Your Nostrils Three Times<br />
Take some water in your right hand and sniff it into your nose.<br />
<br />
We used the word “sniff” here to give you an idea of what this means. You will need to snort or inhale the water into your nose and then blow it out, three times. Try not to take in too much water or you may hurt yourself.<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 6 – Wash Your Face Three Times<br />
Every part of the face needs to be washed. That means from ear to ear and from the top of your forehead to the bottom of your chin. Do this step three times.<br />
<br />
For men who have beards take your wet hands and pass them through your beard as you wash your face.<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 7 – Wash Your Arms Three Times<br />
Start from the fingertips and wash your right arm up to the elbow three times. Make sure that no part is left dry. Afterwards, follow the same process for your left arm and do it three times.<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 8 – Wipe Your Head Once<br />
Did you notice that step 8 says to “wipe” your head instead of “wash.” The choice of words here was intentional. Move your wet hands from the top of the forehead to the back of the head, and then from the back of the head to the forehead. This is done only once.<br />
<br />
It doesn’t matter what type of hair you have. Whether you are bald, have short hair or long hair, the process is the same.<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 9 – Clean Your Ears Once<br />
This step should be performed with the same water from step 8. Using your wet hands you will use your index fingers to clean the inside of your ears and your thumb to clean the area behind your ears.<br />
<br />
This is done only once.<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 10 – Wash Your Feet Three Times<br />
Similar to what was done with our hands, we will also wash our feet three times.<br />
<br />
Begin from your toes on your right foot and wash up to and including your ankle. Make sure water touches every area of the right foot, especially between the toes and the back of the ankle. Do this three times with the right foot followed by three times with the left foot.<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 11 – Recite the Shahada and the Dua<br />
When the Prophet (peace be upon him) would complete his wudu he would say the shahada:<br />
<br />
“Ash-hadu an la ilaha illal lahu wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuluh.”<br />
<br />
This means “I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I also testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.”<br />
<br />
After this statement he would make the following dua: “Allahuma j‘alnee mina tawabeen waj-‘alnee minal mutatahireen”<br />
<br />
Which means “O Allah, make me among those who seek repentance and make me among those who purify themselves.”<br />
<br />
At this point your wudu is complete and you can begin to pray.<br />
<br />
What Nullifies Your Wudu?<br />
As we mentioned earlier in this chapter, a Muslim cannot perform salah until they have performed wudu. This leads into a common question one might ask:<br />
<br />
How long will my wudu last for?<br />
<br />
The answer is that your wudu remains until one (or more) of the following happens:<br />
<br />
Anything that is a natural discharge. This refers to urine, stool, or passing gas<br />
Falling asleep<br />
Becoming unconscious<br />
Ejaculation<br />
If any of the above take place then you will need to perform wudu again.<br />
<br />
<br />
Making Wudu While Wearing Socks or Shoes<br />
If you decide to put on your socks while you have wudu on, then if a time comes for you to redo your wudu then you do not need to take off your socks.<br />
<br />
When it comes time to renew your wudu and reach the step where you need to wash your feet three times (step #10), this time you will do things a little differently:<br />
<br />
Keep your socks on. You do not need to take them off for this step<br />
Using your right hand you will wipe gently over the top of your right foot. This is done only once<br />
Using your right hand again you will wipe gently over the top of your left foot<br />
<br />
This is what Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to do when he made wudu with his socks on.<br />
<br />
Although we were referring to socks in this section, the same rules apply for shoes and sandals as long as they cover up to the ankles.</div>

<div class="x-text cs-ta-left">
The
salah is a special form of worship that is the second most important
pillar of Islam after the shahada (testimony of faith). It is an
obligatory form of prayer performed five times a day that was revealed
in the Holy Qur’an and taught to us by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him). <br />

There are many verses in the Holy Quran which Allah tells us about the importance of prayer. Here are two such verses:<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
</div>
<blockquote class="x-blockquote">
But those who hold fast to the Book and establish prayer – indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of the pious.<br />
<cite class="x-cite">Qur'an - Chapter 7, Verse 170</cite></blockquote>
<blockquote class="x-blockquote">
Recite,
[O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish
prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the
remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah knows that which you do.<br />

The
salah involves a number of physical movements – standing, bowing,
prostrating, and sitting. It also involves the recitation of verses from
the Holy Quran in Arabic along with a number of dua (supplications).<br />
The Muslim will face the direction of the Kaba, the Sacred House of
Allah in Makkah, whenever they perform their prayer. These physical
movements, recitations, and supplications are all done to show humility
and submission to Allah.<br />

<span>Why do Muslims Pray Salah?</span></h3>
<hr class="x-gap" style="margin: 20px 0 0 0;" />
<div class="x-text cs-ta-left">
The reason why Muslims pray at all relates to what Islam considers to be the purpose of life – <strong>to worship Allah alone.</strong>
Shortly after Muhammad became a Prophet, the performance of salah
(worship) was one of the first commandments given to him by Allah.<br />
</div>
<div class="x-text cs-ta-left">
Allah Almighty tells us in the Holy Qur’an that mankind was only created for one reason: to worship Him.<br />

The
salah is the second pillar of Islam and it is a critical part of a
Muslim’s faith. One of the biggest differences between a Muslim and a
non-Muslim is the salah. Our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) said:<br />

<span>Why Do Muslims Pray 5 Times a Day?</span></h3>
<hr class="x-gap" style="margin: 20px 0 0 0;" />
<div class="x-text cs-ta-left">
This
question is quite common and many people do not know the real reason of
where the number five came from. When Muhammad (peace be upon him)
became a Prophet at the age of forty one of the first things he was
taught was how to pray. Allah sent the angel Gabriel (Jibreel) to teach
him how to make wudu and perform the salah.<br />
</div>
<div class="x-text cs-ta-left">
Some 11 years after the
beginning of prophethood a miraculous journey took place in which the
angel Gabriel took Muhammad (peace be upon him) to the first heaven. It
was during this event that Allah commanded him and the Muslims to
specifically pray five times a day. This event was recorded in the Holy
Qur’an and we also have authentic narrations from the Prophet (peace be
upon him) himself that he undertook this journey.<br />
</div>
<div class="x-text cs-ta-left">
The full story of the Prophet’s ascent to heaven is known as <em><strong>Isra and Mi’raj</strong></em>.
It is a lengthy story for which we will not go into detail. However,
the last part of the story will be shared; the part where the
commandment to pray specifically five times a day was given. Up until
that point in history the Muslims would perform salah, but there was no
specific number of times that was legislated.<br />

<b>The Islamic New Year. This is the first day
of the year in the Islamic calendar. But what do Muslims actually
celebrate during this event, and how do they do it? Here's what you need
to know about this landmark date in the history of Islam.</b></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<h2>
<b>What do Muslims celebrate during the Islamic New Year?</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The Islamic New Year – also called Hijri New Year – is an annual commemoration of the <strong>Hijra</strong>, which is the Arabic word for emigration or exile. This day celebrates the emigration of <strong>Muhammad</strong>
in 622 from Mecca to the city of Yathrib, known today as Medina. In
Yathrib, the prophet of Islam gathered with his companion their first
community – or <strong>Ummah</strong> – around the same belief. The
Hijri New Year celebrates, thus, the foundation of the Muslim community.
This year, Muslims celebrate the year 1440 of the Islamic calendar.</span><br />
<h2>
<strong>When is the Muslim New Year?</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">In the Hijri calendar, the year starts on the 1st of the month of <strong>Muharram</strong>. Unlike the Gregorian solar calendar used in the West since 1582, the Hijri calendar is based on<strong> lunar months</strong>.
In a year, there are 12 months with a duration of 29 to 30 days. Each
month begins on the first crescent of a new moon. Thus, this calendar
contains only 354 or 355 days. And that is why the dates of the new
year, Ramadan and Aid al-Adha are, every year, shifted by ten or eleven
days in the Gregorian calendar.</span></div>

3 Things You Can Do for Healthier Work/Personal Relationships. <br /><br />As a Holistic Health and Lifestyle Coach, I work with people to enable them to achieve their objectives and defeat squares and deterrents in their manner. Need to know an enormous and extremely normal hindrance that impedes efficiency? Unfortunate connections! <br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />It doesn't make a difference how great you are with your organizer, time the board, or propensities. It doesn't make a difference how sound you eat or how fit you are. In the event that you don't understand developing sound connections throughout your life, you will lose a great deal of time, vitality, and confidence. <br /><br />It doesn't make a difference how great you are with your organizer, time the executives, or propensities. It doesn't make a difference how sound you eat or how fit you are. On the off chance that you don't develop solid connections throughout your life, you will lose a great deal of time, vitality, and faith. <br /><br />As individuals who need to epitomize the Barakah-attitude, being God-driven rather than self image driven and concentrating on Allah' joy and acknowledgment of our work and life drive us desperately to repair our associations with others. <br /><br />Allah Almighty says: <br /><br />"The adherents are siblings to each other, along these lines, make compromise between your siblings and dread Allah, with the goal that you might be appeared." [Qur'an 49: 10] <br /><br />Also, the Prophet ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (harmony and gifts of Allāh arrive) stated, described AbudDarda' who said that <br /><br />The Prophet ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (harmony and favors of Allāh arrive) stated: Shall I not advise you regarding something more fantastic in degree than fasting, supplication and almsgiving (sadaqah)? The general population answered: Yes, Prophet of Allah! He stated: It is putting things directly between individuals, ruining them is the shaver (dangerous). [Sunan Abi Dawud] <br /><br />Along these lines, in this article, we'll talk about 3 things individuals in solid connections do and what you can gain from that. <br /><br />1. Deferential Disagreement <br /><br />It is beneficial to oppose this idea. We have to comprehend that contention and difference will occur throughout everyday life. A few people are exceptionally disinclined and impervious to struggle. Nobody is stating you ought to appreciate struggle or trust in it. It is, be that as it may, essential to invite it when it's required. <br /><br />In this flawed world, there is strife. When it comes up, you can either have a solid and deferential association with it or you can have an undesirable association with it. <br /><br />In this flawed world, there is strife. When it comes up, you can either have a solid and deferential association with it or you can have an undesirable association with it.<br />
<br />In the accompanying hadith, the Prophet ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (harmony and endowments of Allāh arrive) indicated how two individuals can both be correct regardless of whether they have apparently various positions. <br /><br />Described Ibn Mas'ud: I heard an individual discussing a (Qur'anic) Verse with a specific goal in mind, and I had heard the Prophet (ﷺ) presenting a similar Verse in an alternate manner. So I took him to the Prophet (ﷺ) and educated him regarding that yet I saw the indication of objection all over, and afterward he stated, "Both of you are right, so don't contrast, for the countries before you varied, so they were obliterated." [Sahih Al Bukhari] <br /><br />As a matter of fact, a person who expects to have deferential contradiction considers struggle to be three things: <br /><br />A development opportunity <br /><br />As people, we can be obstinate. That is alright. In any case, those of us who are focused on carrying on with a progressively profitable Barakah-life comprehend that we should get this under wraps. It's hazardous when somebody enables their obstinate attitudes to hinder their development. <br /><br />All differences welcome each gathering to see things from an alternate point of view. Regardless of whether you don't concur, having the option to speak with deference will definitely encourage development. <br /><br />If it's not too much trouble note: The main time strife isn't a development opportunity is in an injurious relationship, which can happen in private connections just as expert connections. <br /><br />An association opportunity <br /><br />A great deal of times people who are in strife end up further separated after the contention. <br /><br />In any case, if each gathering is happy to be aware, clash should result in an association. Struggle can unite you. <br /><br />A great deal of times people who are in struggle end up further separated after the conflict.However, if each gathering is happy to be aware, clash should result in an association. Strife can bring you closer together.Click To Tweet <br /><br />How about we utilize a marriage relationship for a model. Suppose one life partner raises a worry (you'll see a case of this later on in the article). Above all else, nobody appreciates being put on the spot. It's in our tendency to feel awkward when somebody raises a worry that may expect us to search internally. <br /><br />It's extremely imperative to recollect that these are chances to develop nearer to our friends and family. A life partner who reveals to us that they have a worry isn't stating they detest us or that we are horrendous. They are really saying "I need you to adore me better along these lines". <br /><br />It's originating from a craving to pick up closeness to you. <br /><br />If you don't mind note this precedent would not make a difference circumstances where power, misuse, and indecency is utilized. That is never alright. This applies when a mate is raising a genuine worry that they need to be tended to. On the off chance that the other life partner winds up protective, presently the two life partners are on inverse groups. <br /><br />There is certainly no way for association. When the life partners are on inverse groups, lethal practices may result and the contention may loosen up to be a more concerning issue than it should be. <br /><br />Be that as it may. on the off chance that we saw strife as an association opportunity, this can be maintained a strategic distance from. <br /><br />A taqwa opportunity <br /><br />For the individuals who trust that we will be considered responsible for each activity by Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (celebrated and lifted up be He), at that point truly everything without exception is basically a taqwa (God-awareness) opportunity. That doesn't imply that we can't commit errors or that we should be immaculate. It's not hard to be simple, and cherishing, and sympathetic, and conscious when things are going your direction. <br /><br />It's a lot harder to be conscious when it's inconsistent with what you need. <br /><br />Solid contradiction is an opportunity to see another viewpoint and parity. We are told we will be tried in the Qur'an: <br /><br />"Do the general population imagine that they will be left to state, "We accept" and they won't be attempted?" [Qur'an 29:2] <br /><br />Some Practical Tips for Respectful Disagreement <br /><br />Try not to interfere with the individual talking <br /><br />Tune in to comprehend, not to react. Lamentably, the vast majority tune in to react. Here are a few signs for both: <br /><br />Signs that you are tuning in to react: <br /><br />You cut the other individual off before they get done with talking <br /><br />You quickly begin discussing your point or motivation without pausing for a minute to associate with what the individual just said <br /><br />Signs you are tuning in to get it <br /><br />You give the other individual time to talk and you don't surge them or cut them off <br /><br />You apologize in the event that you do cut them off and you change your conduct <br /><br />You ask follow up inquiries to all the more likely get them <br /><br />Be eager to meet somebody inwardly, regardless of whether you don't meet them legitimately <br /><br />For instance, suppose your adolescent kid needs to go some place with somebody that you don't favor. You realize that nature isn't sound for them and you know there will be incredible damage that isn't age-proper in any case. It is useful to rehearse compassion, place yourself in their shoes, endeavor to imagine why they need to go, and after that convey to them that you comprehend why they need what they need. This is meeting somebody inwardly. You can at present coherently differ and even put your foot down (without being a despot). Many individuals are hesitant to genuinely concur on the grounds that they think it implies they are surrendering their position. <br /><br />2. Self Responsibility <br /><br />You are in charge of you. On the Day of Judgment, the Day when there is no shade yet Allah's shade subḥānahu wa ta'āla (celebrated and lifted up be He), we are just going to go to bat for ourselves. Nobody can do whatever else for us. We can't reprimand individuals for the things that we do or the things we are in charge of. <br /><br />So how to for all intents and purposes cultivate self-obligation? <br /><br />Try not to accuse other individuals when they stand up to you with something you've done <br /><br />In the meantime, don't give others a chance to exploit you <br /><br />Place yourself in the other individual's shoes <br /><br />So as to breath life into this, I'll share two instances of self-duty among a couple. One model will depict poor self-obligation. The other will depict sound self-duty. <br /><br />For decency, I will mark it as companion #1 and life partner #2 to get the point over that either mate can be the spouse or the wife. <br /><br />An anecdotal case of poor self-duty among a couple: <br /><br />Life partner #1: a day or two ago when we were at your folks' home, you informed your family regarding my terrible survey at work, it truly vexed me. I requested that you keep that private. I feel disregarded and humiliated. <br /><br />Life partner #2: I didn't intend to. You're overplaying this. In addition you did likewise to me before with your sister. <br /><br />Mate #1: I previously apologized for that. I'm disclosing to you this makes me feel affronted and humiliated. <br /><br />Companion #2: You know how my mother is. She got it out of me. It is anything but a major ordeal. They would have discovered at any rate. I would prefer not to discuss this any longer. <br /><br />An anecdotal case of solid self-duty among a couple: <br /><br />Life partner #1: When you enlightened your folks regarding my terrible survey at work, it truly disturbed me. You revealed to me you'd keep that between us. I feel so affronted and humiliated at this point. <br /><br />Companion #2: I am so grieved. I promptly acknowledged I shouldn't have said anything. I am upset for both selling out your trust.<br />

Each heart that isn't burning is no heart; <br /><br />A solidified heart is only a bunch of mud. <br /><br />O God! Give me a bosom that sets on fire, <br /><br />What's more, in that bosom a heart and that heart overwhelmed by flame. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />In Islam, the idea of adoration is a standout amongst the most significant ideas. This reality shows itself in Islamic logic, religious philosophy, magic and morals; to be sure, in certain angles, it assumes the significant job. For instance, in characterizing the Islamic perspective on the connection among God and Universe when all is said in done, and among God and Mankind specifically, love has the most huge and significant spot. Love is so focal in Islam that it is leak as "the firmest handhold of confidence" and "confidence (Iman) is only love for God and abhor for God". <br /><br />Ibn Abbas detailed that Messenger of Allah (Peace and favors of Allah arrive) stated: "The most grounded confidence is to be earnest for Allah, to despise for Allah (Tabarra), to adore for Allah (Tawalla), and to dispose of for Allah." <br /><br />There is an inclination among certain individuals to feel that there ought to be no despise by any stretch of the imagination. These individuals accept that brilliance and honorability of character and "being amiable" comprise of having all men one's companions. Absolutely Islam prescribes Muslims to love individuals and upgrade sympathetic and genuine association with them, regardless of whether they don't have faith in Islam or in God. In any case, it isn't possible for an individual who has standards throughout his life and has given his life to acknowledge hallowed qualities to be not interested in insidious and severe deeds of miscreants and make kinship with everyone. Such an individual unquestionably will have a few adversaries, in any case. There are in every case great individuals in the general public and terrible individuals. Great and terrible are two inverse posts. Fascination towards the great is unimaginable without aversion from the awful. <br /><br />At the point when two people pull in one another and their hearts wish for them to be companions and partners with each other, we should search for a purpose behind that. The reason is nothing other than comparability and likeness. Except if there is a closeness between these two people, they can't pull in each other and move towards companionship with one another, as saying goes, Birds of same quill rush together. <br /><br />Maulana Rumi in his Mathnavi notices fine story that delineate this reality. <br /><br />The story identifies with an insightful man that saw a Raven who had framed friendship for a Stork. They roosted together and flew together! The astute man couldn't see how two winged animals of two distinct species that had no similitude either fit as a fiddle or in shading with one another could be companions. He went close and found that them two had just a single leg. <br /><br />A similar thought is accentuated by Imams of the Household (Ahlul Bayt) of Prophet Muhammad (saw). For instance, Fudayl ibn Yasar, a devotee, asked Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (as) regardless of whether love and contempt get from confidence (Iman). Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (as) answered: "Is confidence anything besides love and loathe?" <br /><br />It is additionally portrayed that Imam al-Baqir (as), expressed that: Religion (Deen) is love and love is religion. <br /><br />As these announcements and customs show, love plays a significant and critical job. Henceforth it merits our nearby consideration all together that we may find the genuine significance of the idea of affection in Islam. <br /><br />Most importantly, a few inquiries strike a chord. What is the sort of adoration that has been stressed by Islam? Who is the object of this unique sort of adoration? For what reason should the devotees have this sort of adoration and what reason does it serve? <br /><br />Love in Islam can be comprehensively ordered into: Love for God, love for Prophet Muhammad (saw) and his Household (Ahlul Bayt), and love for the unwavering.<br />

Question <br /><br />I have gotten notification from researchers that Quran is anything but difficult to appreciate while numerous researchers state that it is difficult to fathom the Quran. I might want to know your conclusion whether the Quran is straightforward or not. The sections in Surah Al-Qamar more than once says that Quran is straightforward however we discover a few researchers who state that it is hard to comprehend the Quran? I for one watched some laymen who comprehended the implications of the Quran very well just with the interpretation while others think that its difficult to get a handle on. What is your supposition and perception? <br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />Answer <br /><br />By Tariq Mahmood Hashmi <br /><br />There is no denying the way that the Qur'an has been made simple and proper to fill in as a notice of the incredible relativities of confidence. It anyway contains things which must be completely gotten a handle on and utilized as a guide in determining laws and so on by the researchers yet that does not render it a book that is totally futile for the regular peruser. It gives adequate direction to an ordinary person just as researchers. It is just inferring the laws and interpreting importance of parts of the content that are troublesome (for their being in Arabic language) we are not worried about that. We can peruse a solid interpretation of the content and attempt to comprehend what it says. <br /><br />The matter of a content being simple or troublesome is a relative thing. A content might be simple for me and not for you and the other way around. This implies individuals are of various capacities and abilities and have diverse foundation and ideal models. This fundamentally influences the outcome in undertaking to comprehend the content of the Qur'an. <br /><br />With respect to the Qur'anic explanation in such manner it ought to be examined in its appropriate setting. It would not be all in all correct to get this significance from the alluded to stanza of the Qur'an which concerns a totally extraordinary issue. <br /><br />As indicated by the stanzas of Surah Najm the Qur'an is simple for its first addressees and is fitting to caution for what it's worth in clear Arabic language. It didn't address them in an odd language hard to them to understand. The Almighty dependably sends down the disclosures to a people in their very own language. The Almighty uncovered the Qur'an in parts with the goal that it isn't hurried upon them. They are given pieces of the disclosure as per the conditions and after the Prophet have uncovered the past parts to them and instructed them. Some Surahs of the Qur'an, particularly the ones uncovered first, were short and far reaching and later on their exchanges were additionally clarified in much-nitty gritty Surahs. The Qur'an pertinently rehashes the contemplations in various parts and in various styles with the goal that the addressees can fathom significant and fundamental substances and these are engraved on their brains. This is called tasreef al-aayaat (reiteration of the refrains in various ways and styles). Every one of these things demonstrated that the Qur'an filled in as a total suggestion to the general population and had it not been the situation the addressees of the dispatcher couldn't be rebuffed for they could present reason for their violations before God. They could hold the message was uncertain to them. <br /><br />Omnipotent says: <br /><br />We have made this Qur'an fitting to fill in as an update. (54:17) <br /><br />The catchphrases are 'we made it suitable'. The Arabic word 'yassara yuyassiru: tayseer' is normally deciphered as 'we made it simple'. Anyway we comprehend that it's anything but an extremely exact rendering of the articulation. Imam Amin Ahsan Islahi in his book Tadabbur-I Qur'an has clarified that the word is utilized to indicate providing something with vital gear and setting it up for a reason and adorning it in like manner. The Arabs state: yassara al farasa lil rukoob. He arranged the pony for riding ie he sustained it in like manner, broke it in, and furnished with vital hardware utilized (like seat, harness and so forth). From this the word moved toward becoming to be utilized to mean setting someone up for a significant errand and giving him all the essential things to empower him continue. The writer says: <br /><br />We help out pioneer out when he is stood up to with a significant experience till we smooth the path for him (nuyassiruhoo) to satisfy his obligations run of the mill of the pioneers. <br /><br />It ought to be noticed that the word Zikr (update) in this setting alludes instruction, cautioning, reprobation, and so forth. The Qur'an does not expect us to contemplate over things unusual to us. It brings the substances definitely known to us to our notice. It needs us to offer idea to things we knew however have become absent minded about. <br /><br />The setting of the sections is that the Almighty says to the Quraysh that they are disregarding a basic, plain and unmistakable reality. The discipline they are being cautioned of will come to them certainly. They have been given a plain and clear book which has not left any of their inquiry unanswered and their perplexity hazy. They should exploit this book and notice to their delivery person and ought not welcome the <br /><br />discipline distained for the rejecters of the Messengers of God<br />

Throughout everyday life, there are sufficient occasions when we are disillusioned, discouraged and irritated. We don't generally need to go searching for them. We have a magnificent world that is loaded with excellence, light and guarantee. Why sit around idly in this world searching for the awful, disillusioning or irritating when we can check out us, and see the wondrous things before us!<br />

This can be perused as "GOD IS NO WHERE" or as "GOD IS NOW HERE" everything relies upon how you see it. So think positive dependably. Thinking positive is the way to your prosperity. Every single effective individuals make them thing in like manner: Positive reasoning and enthusiasm for what they are doing!<br />
<br />
Norman Vincent Peale, the popular creator of "The Power of Positive Thinking" once recounted to this story.<br />
<br />
A man once called Norman Vincent Peale. He was depressed and told the reverend that he didn't have anything left to live for. Norman Vincent Peale welcomed the man over to his office. "Everything is gone, sad," the man let him know. "I'm living in most profound obscurity. Truth be told, I've lost heart for living by and large."<br />
<br />
Norman Vincent Peale grinned thoughtfully.<br />
<br />
"We should investigate your circumstance," he said smoothly. On a sheet of paper he drew a vertical line down the center. He proposed that they list on the left side the things the man had lost, and on the right, the things he had left. "You won't require that section on the correct side," said the man tragically. "I don't have anything left, period."<br />
<br />
Norman Vincent Peale asked, "When did your better half leave you?"<br />
<br />
"I'm not catching your meaning? She hasn't left me. My better half cherishes me!"<br />
<br />
"That is incredible!" said Norman Vincent Peale excitedly. "At that point that will be number one in the right-hand section - Wife hasn't left. Presently, when were your kids imprisoned?"<br />
<br />
"That is senseless. My youngsters aren't in prison!"<br />
<br />
"Great! That is number two in the right-hand segment - Children not in prison," said Norman Vincent Peale, writing it down.<br />
<br />
After a couple of more inquiries in a similar vein, the man at last got the point and grinned regardless of himself. "Entertaining, how things change when you consider them that way," he said.<br />
<br />
Persuasive Quote: "Make sure that you value all that you have; and be appreciative for the seemingly insignificant details in life that mean a great deal."<br />

<a href="https://www.ask-a-muslim.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Introducing-Allah.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="800" height="200" src="https://www.ask-a-muslim.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Introducing-Allah.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The absolute greatest misinterpretations that numerous non-Muslims have about Islam have to do with "ALLAH". <br /><br />For different reasons, numerous individuals have come to trust that Muslims adore an unexpected God in comparison to Christians and Jews. This is absolutely false, since "ALLAH" is just that Arabic word for "God" - and there is just a single God. Muslims love the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus - harmony arrive all. Notwithstanding, it is unquestionably evident that Jews, Christians and Muslims all have various ideas of Almighty God. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />For instance, Muslims - like Jews - dismiss the Christians convictions of the Trinity and the Divine Incarnation. <br /><br />As a matter of first importance, it is critical to take note of that "ALLAH" is a similar word that Arabic-expressing Christians and Jews use for God. In the event that you get an Arabic Bible, you will see "ALLAH" being utilized where "God" is utilized in English. This is on the grounds that "ALLAH" is the main word in the Arabic language identical to the English word "God". <br /><br />Also, "ALLAH" CANNOT be made plural or given a sexual orientation, which goes connected at the hip with the Islamic idea of God. If we somehow managed to utilize the name God, it very well may be made into plurals and given sexual orientation, for example god's, goddess, and so on. <br /><br />The Aramaic word "El", which is the word for God in the Language that Jesus (pbuh) utilized and talked, is unquestionably increasingly comparative in sound to "ALLAH" than the English word "God". This additionally remains constant for the different Hebrew words for God, which are "El" and "Elah", and the plural structure "Elohim". The explanation behind these likenesses is that Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic are on the whole Semitic dialects (Sister Languages), with normal roots. <br /><br />Making an interpretation of the Bible into English, the Hebrew word "El" is deciphered differently as "God", "god" and "heavenly attendant"! This uncertain language permits various interpreters, in light of their assumptions, to make an interpretation of the word to accommodate their own perspectives. The Arabic Word "ALLAH" then again introduces no such trouble, since it is utilized for The Almighty God alone. <br /><br />The Arabic word "ALLAH" additionally contains a profound religious message because of its root importance and source. This is on the grounds that it originates from the Arabic action word ta'allaha (or alaha), which signifies "to be venerated". Subsequently in Arabic, "ALLAH" signifies "The One who merits all love". This, more or less, is the Pure Monotheistic (one) message of Islam.<br /></div>

Alhamdulillah rabbil Al'aameen (an Arabic phrase that means praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and the Sustainer of the worlds)!! This is my 23rd Ramadhan!!! Every Ramadhan, I always learn something deeper about Al-Islam and the Muslim Ummah (an Arabic word that means community). For example, on Saturday May 18, 2019, a day before Malcolm X's 94 birthday, I spent a large portion of my time chopping it up with my very knowledgeable and well-traveled Muslim elders about the Holy Qu'ran, the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (s'.a.s),<br />
<a name='more'></a>Ramadhan, Ahadith ( the sayings and conduct of Prophet Muhammad Ibn Abdullah), Muslims, the Muslim Ummah, racism In the Ummah, racism in the world, the Arab Muslim world, the Salafi Movement, the Arab world, Asian Muslims, the Muslim Ummah around the Black community, Black Muslims, Master Fard Muhammad (the founder of the Nation of Islam), the Honorable Elijah Muhammad ( the co-founder of the Nation of Islam), Imam Warith Deen Mohammed, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam, COINTELPRO (the FBI's racist counterintelligence program created to secretly kill Black leaders and destroy Black organizations in the 1950s, 60s, and the early 70s), and Black people. This conversation came about from my Nation of Islam t-shirt. They noticed that I was wearing a Nation of Islam t-shirt showing love for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, and the late Minister Abdul Rahman ( Minister Abdul Rahman was the Southern regional Minister under the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Minister Rahman Muhammad is credited with bringing boxing world Champion Muhammad Ali to the Nation of Islam in the 1960s. He recently returned to Allah about two weeks ago). They said to me that my shirt was very interesting. I said to myself let me embrace a serious jihad (war) over Al-Islam and the Nation of Islam. The area that I live in, which is the Newark, NJ area of the Northeastern region of the United States, has a high concentration of Muslims of every culture and every Madhhab ( an Arabic word for Islamic school of thought). Muslims in this area will argue with you all day and night about Al-Islam. In my humble opinion, this is so unproductive. I pray to Allah (SWT) that we Muslims would put more energy into building schools, hospitals, businesses, liberating oppressed people, supporting Muslim women, feeding the homeless, helping the poor and the needy. But folks, that is another story for another time. Let me get back to my story. The elders gave me some elderly advice during Ramadhan. My elders taught me a lesson from my t-shirt on the importance of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam to the Muslim Ummah.<br />
They taught me why we must be supportive and respectful to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. I was very surprised by their advice. Although they know I came to Al-Islam through the Nation of Islam, and that I am already respectful and supportive of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, I was taken back by this advice to support brother Farrakhan and the. Nation of Islam. The elders said to me never be like some of us elders that continue to be disrespectful to the Honorable Minister Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam when I reach full elderhood in this Ummah. (I am in my fifties now). I said what do you mean family. I said to them that will never happen to me. They lovingly laughed at my statement. I said to them why are you all laughing. They said to me that some of us said that back in the day during the time of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. But after the Honorable Elijah Muhammad departed, we became disunited as Muslims. They said that eventually some of them became bitter towards the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. I said to the elders you are right. I have met some very bitter elders. And that bitterness has spilled into the contemporary Muslim Ummah, particularly the Ummah around the Black community.<br />
Clearly, I told them that I see the divisions now. For example, some Muslims consistently organize separate Eid Al Fitr ( an Arabic phrase that means Muslim festival marking the end of the fast of Ramadhan) events instead of a united Eid Al Fitr celebration in the Newark area.<br />
This fitna (an Arab word for division) is so deep in the Ummah in our area that some Muslims, particularly Black Muslims, do not attend certain Masaajid (Mosques) because they do not follow a sheikh or a ulamaa (scholar) in the Arab Muslim world or in the non-Black Muslim world.<br />
I said to them I know Muslim Imams and leaders in this area that were once members of the Nation of Islam under the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Some of these bitter elders have been Imams, teachers of Arabiya (an Arabic word for Arabic), teachers on the Holy Qu'ran, teachers of the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ( s'a.s), Islamic scholars, builders of Masaajid (mosques), and teachers of Al-Islam in this Ummah in Jersey. I said to the elders that their fitna has been bequeathed over to some young Muslims to the point that some Muslims, particularly Black Muslims, do not see some Muslim brothers and sisters as Muslim brothers and sisters. The worse thing now is that some Muslims, particularly Black Muslims, do not see themselves authentically Muslim unless an Arab, or a Pakistani, or a Southern Asian, or white person, or some non-Black Muslim, label them authentically Muslim.<br />
I said to them how did this all happen to Muslims, particularly many Black Muslims whose history has been directly tied to the Nation of Islam. I said to them was it COINTELPRO. The elders said to me COINTELPRO is part of the fitna. They said that anything that is Black and strong will be targeted for destruction by the power structure. But they said that is only part of the problem. The elders said brother be clear, a large part of the problem is internal differences with us Muslims, particularly Black Muslims. I said to them, this is sad. I said to the elders, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad did so much for Al-Islam and oppressed Black people.<br />
I said to the elders, correct me if I wrong, but the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the co-founder of the Nation of Islam, in 1959, was the very first Black Muslim in America to make Hajj (an Arabic word for pilgrimage) to Makkah, Saudi Arabia since before the enslavement of Black people in America by racist white slave owners. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was the first Muslim to connect the Muslim world, and the world, to the Black liberation struggle in America. But most importantly, he made America and the world respect Al-Islam.<br />
I need to pause for a minute. There are some folks reading this commentary that have no idea the struggle it took to establish Al-Islam in America. They do not know, or want to accept, that by the permission of Allah (SWT), Al-Islam came into existence in America through oppressed Black people. The following is a little history on how Al-islam and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad Ibn Abdullah came to America.<br />
White American slave owners and the system of racism completely separated Black people from their African names, language, cultures, and religions. But when it came to enslaved Black Muslims from Africa, powerful racist White people in America took special care to make sure that the light of Al-Islam would be forever extinguished from the hearts, minds, and the lips of enslaved Black Muslins for generations. Like they did to enslaved non-Islamic Black people, racist White people made it illegal for us to speak in Arabiya (an Arabic word for Arabic), read the Holy Qu'ran and the Ahadith, follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad Ibn Abdullah (s.'a.s), and practice Al-Islam for hundreds of years in America. But this all came to end when Master Fard Muhammad came to North America on July 4, 1930 from Makkah, Saudi Arabia, to free Black people from racism and Black self-hatred by placing Al-Islam back in the hearts, minds, and lips of oppressed Black people trapped in racial oppression in America. He called this organization the Lost-Found Nation of Islam in the West. Master Fard Muhammad teachings raised up the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad in Detroit, Michigan. By 1933, Master Fard Muhammad left America, but in his place, he left the Nation of Islam under the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's leadership. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad went to work to liberate Black people from racism using Al-Islam. From 1933 to 1975, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad built a massive movement that became the largest Islamic movement in America. He placed Muslims, particularly, Black Muslims, as the leaders of Al-Islam in America. Now there were other Islamic groups in existence, such as the Moorish Science Temple, and smaller Sunni Islamic movements. But none of them were as popular and successful as the Nation of Islam.<br />
Now back to my conversation with Muslim elders. I said to the elders out of the Nation of Islam movement under Master Fard Muhammad and the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad came many great Muslims, such as sister Clara Muhammad, Malcolm X, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, sister Khadijah Farrakhan, Dr. Khalid Abdul Muhammad, Clarence 13x-founder of the 5% Nation of Islam, Muhammad Ali, Imam Wahhaj Suraj, Carl Sharif, Fredrica Bey, Imam Ali Muslim, Yusef Shaw, Ahmed Burhani, Imam Dawud Adeeb, Bilal Philips, and many other Muslim brothers and sisters. But most importantly, out of his loins, came the great Imam Warith Deen Mohammed. (Imam Warith Deen was once named Wallace Muhammad. In 1975, after the Honorable Elijah Muhammad departed from the Nation of Islam, the Muhammad family elected Imam Warith Deen Mohammed as the next leader of the Nation of Islam. In three years, Imam Mohammed directed the Nation of Islam into Sunni Al-Islam. His leadership led to one of the foundations for Al-Islam in America. Under Imam Mohammed, Muslims traveled overseas to study Al-Islam in Medina and Makkah, Saudi Arabia, to brought it back to the Black community. Unfortunately, some of these Muslims became consumed with just the religious aspect of Al-Islam and not in Black liberation. Some of these Muslims left Imam Mohammed's leadership. These overseas trained Muslims accused Imam Mohammed of not being authentically Muslim. They went on to establish their own more extremist Islamic movements in America and in Jersey based upon the extremist leadership in Saudi Arabia in 1980s and 1990s. In 1978, out of this atmosphere, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan made the decision to leave the Nation of Islam after the dismantling of the Nation of Islam. He left the leadership of Imam Mohammed to rebuild the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam as a vehicle for liberation for a whole new generation of Muslims and oppressed Black people in America). I said to the elders again why are some of these elders so angry with the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. They told me that there are many levels to their bitterness.<br />
They said that some of the elders had internal organizational differences within the Nation of Islam. Then they told me that some of the elders had differences with the Nation of Islam leadership. Then they said that some of their differences stem from theological issues with the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. I said to them that what they are saying is really deep. I said to them that maybe this is why some Muslims have mixed emotions and straight hatred towards the Honorable Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. They said to me you are right brother.<br />
They told me that although many of them came to Al-Islam, and to the Muslim Ummah, through the Nation of Islam, they said to me that some of the elders intentionally shelve the Black liberation teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Nation of Islam. They said to me that they forgot the good things the Honorable Elijah Muhammad brought to them before they came to Al-Islam. The elders said to me that we must embrace the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the members of the Nation of Islam as our Muslim brothers and sisters because they are doing great work as Muslims giving dawah (an Arabic for inviting people to the faith of Al-Islam), fighting free oppressed people, promoting Black pride, working on economic independence, establishing liberation schools, and organizing to help free the Black community from racism and Black self-hatred. Most importantly, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and Nation of Islam are teaching Black people the knowledge of self-the Blackman's and the Blackwoman's true Black History. They said that brother Farrakhan and Nation of Islam belongs to the Muslim Ummah. I said to them that I already see Brother Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam as my Muslim brothers and sisters. I also said to them that they, brother Farrakhan and Nation of Islam, belong to our Ummah.<br />
They told me that is good. Alhamdulillah (an Arabic phrase that says praise be to Allah)!!! They said to me keep up the good work you do for the Muslim community and for oppressed Black people. I told them that it is hard work keeping unity in the Muslim Ummah and fighting for the liberation of oppressed Black people. The infighting sometimes kills my spirit and my patience. But I said to the elders that I must struggle onward so that the future generation will have a better example of Muslims, particularly Black Muslims, for our future children and the Black community. Ma'shallah (an Arabic phrase for It is the will of Allah)!!!<br />
As Salaamu Alaykum wa Rahmantuallahi wa Barakaatahu (an Arabic phrase that means May Allah's Peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you)!!!<br />
Jazak Allahu khair (an Arabic phrase that means May Allah reward you with goodness)!!!<br />

<b><i>Robert Davila is one of those people who inspire us with their ability to overcome adversity</i></b>. Robert was born in September 1980 in Bridgeport, Texas. He grew up and graduated from Bridgeport High school in 2000. Growing up, Robert was not religious, leading a life of instability and loss.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At just 20 years old, Robert’s life changed forever. In 2001, in Decatur Texas, Robert was involved in a car accident. When he woke up at the hospital, he found himself unable to move. The accident left Robert paralyzed from the neck down. The doctors’ diagnosed him as quadriplegic, and was told he will never eat, drink, breathe on his own, or walk again. “It was a nightmare come true!”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At first, Robert was only able to eat and drink through a tube in his nose. Soon he started training himself to chew food, and was finally successful. He regained his ability to chew his food and swallow.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Robert has since resided at The Longmeadow Care Center in Justin, Texas. He became best friends with his roommate, Mark. Robert and Mark talked about many things including religion. In 2004, Mark died due to complications in his condition. That was devastating to Robert!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When Mark died, Mark’s sister gave Robert his big cross and Robert asked for the cross to be hung above his bed as a reminder of his best friend and God. Being paralyzed for several years, and with the loss of his best friend, Robert decided to seek help from God. He didn’t know which way to turn! All his family members are devout Christians, and so was Mark.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Robert started reading about different religions, Christianity, Buddhism, and more, until he read about Islam. Islam was the only religion that made sense to him. He read the story of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), read the Quran translation, and ahadeeth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In September 2011, 10 years after the accident, Robert had a dream that changed his life once again. Robert said: “I went to sleep and it was so real. I was in the middle of the dessert; I saw hills and winds blowing the sand in all directions. At a distance, I saw a man, about 5’ 11” surrounded by other mean listening to his speech. He was doing hand gestures. The moment I looked at the man, I knew it was Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The Prophet pointed at my cross (In the dream, it looked like a life-size cross) and said: “Look at the Prophet Jesus, he eats food like us, he walks like us, he even uses the restroom like us. He’s human not God.” Robert suddenly woke up from his dream, and unconsciously said: “Ashhaadu Ana La Ilaha Illa Allah, Wa Ana Muhamadan Abduhu Wa Rasooluh.”</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<b>أشهد أن لا اله</b> الا الله وأشهد ان محمد رسول الله</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Robert has never seen or been to a mosque, has never communicated with Muslims, and has never held the Quran. Because of a dream, Robert Davila converted to Islam. After three years of embracing Islam, Robert has become an inspiration to many Muslims in America. His story is being shared by many, including Nouman Ali Khan, founder, CEO and lead instructor at The Bayyinah Institute for Arabic and Qur’anic Studies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA8bZR89L9E&feature=kp">Nouman Ali Khan – The Story of Robert Davila</a> (video)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, Robert is seeking help from the International Muslim community. Robert has one dream now, to move near a Masjid. He wants to be able to go to the masjid every day, learn about Islam, and memorize the Quran. He wants to become a scholar and share his story. He believes his story will inspire many people, especially the Muslim youth. Robert needs a Wheelchair van to help him move around to and from the Masjid. To help Robert fulfill his dream, please donate to “The Robert Davila Story.”</div>

The earliest known story of the universe begins with the concept of prayer—the story of the residents of Paradise. When Allah (swt) created Adam, all beings were asked to prostrate to him, not as a form of worship, but to recognize the beauty fashioned by the Creator. Iblis, Satan, refused and the outcome was eternity in hellfire.</div>

Rarely do we glimpse a follower of another religion devote his entire being to the worship of his Lord prior to, or in addition to, supplication. Prayer in Islam envelopes both mind and body to the sole worship of God—glorifying Him, praising Him, exalting the Benevolent. This form of worship differs from other religions in the sense that other religions use supplication as the sole act of worship, whereas for Muslims, they serve two completely different purposes.</div>

<b>Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar!</b><br />
The sound of the adhaan echoed throughout the neighborhood.<br />
“Oh, its Asr already?!” She absentmindedly thought in her head as she
flipped channels with the remote. “I ‘ll pray as soon as this show is
over,” she mumbled to herself, as she settled down to watch her favorite
TV program. And before she knew it, it was another show and then yet
another, when all of a sudden, she realized how late it was…..the light
outside had turned yellowish orange…..the birds were chirping loudly….
…the sun was almost about to set.She hurriedly got up, made wudu and did
4 quick rakahs of Asr as fast as she could, so that she could ‘get it
over with’.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Subhaan Allaah, how many of us are guilty of something like that?<br />
Okay, may be it’s not television for all of us. For some of us, it’s
cooking and cleaning, ‘busy’ with the kids. And for some it’s video
games and playstations; while for others it’s talking on the phone,
chatting on the internet, shopping, sleeping, you name it. Or it may be
for just no reason at all.<br />
We delay our prayer….and delay our prayer until the time for it is
almost over and then we quickly peck the floor with our heads, thinking
we are absolved of the obligation. In other words, we ‘just get it over
with’.<br />
But, Brothers and sisters, do you realize what the Prophet (Sal
Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam) called such a prayer? He called it the ‘prayer
of the hypocrite’!<br />
Anas ibn Maalik said,<br />
<div class="hadith-color">
“I heard the Messenger of Allaah (Sal Allaahu
Alayhi wa sallam) say, ‘That is the prayer of the hypocrites, that is
the prayer of the hypocrites, that is the prayer of the hypocrites. One
of them will sit until the sun turns yellow, and is between the horns of
the Shaytaan, or on the horns of the Shaytaan, then he will get up and
peck out four (rak’ahs), in which he does not remember Allaah except a
little.'”(Abu Dawood)</div>
And its not just Asr. We tend to do that with all our prayers,
delaying it until its time is almost up for no valid reason, except that
we are just plain old lazy. Allaah says that laziness in prayer is a
characteristic of the hypocrites.<br />
<div class="ayah-color">
“And when they stand up for al-salaah, they stand with laziness” [al-Nisaa’ 4:142].</div>
<div class="ayah-color">
“So woe unto those performers of Salaah (hypocrites);those who delay their Salaah” [al-Ma’oon 107:4-5]</div>
<i>‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Abbaas said: (This means) those who delay their prayers from the proper time. (Tafseer al-Qurtubi)</i><br />
In fact, do you know what the best deed in the site of Allah is? Its prayer at its time.<br />
<div class="hadith-color">
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam) was asked: Which deed is best? He said: “Prayer done on time.” (al-Bukhaari, Muslim)</div>
And yet we delay it, without thinking much of it. And obviously when
we delay the prayer, we rush through it, not paying attention to the
ruku or sujud or the proper etiquettes of prayer.<br />
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam) said:<br />
<div class="hadith-color">
‘The worst type of thief is the one who steals
from his prayer.’ He said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, how can a person
steal from his prayer?’ He said, ‘By not doing rukoo’ and sujood
properly.'” (Ahmad and al-Haakim–saheeh by Albaani).</div>
And he (Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam) said:<br />
<div class="hadith-color">
‘The one who does not do rukoo’ properly, and
pecks in sujood, is like a starving man who eats only one or two dates;
it does not do him any good at all.'” (al-Tabaraani- hasan by
al-Albaani).</div>
Subhaan Allaah! And where are we with our Salaah?<br />
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam) used to move at a measured
pace during salaah, allowing every bone to return to its place with
each movement. And he commanded those who were not doing their prayer
properly to do the same. Remember the hadeeth about the person who
rushed through his prayer? The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam)
told him three times:<br />
<div class="hadith-color">
“Go back and pray, for you have not prayed.”
Then he told the man: “When you go to pray, say takbeer, then recite
whatever you can of the Qur’aan. Then bow until you are at ease in
bowing, then rise until you are standing up straight. Then prostrate
until you are at ease in prostration, then sit up until you are at ease
in sitting. Then do that throughout the entire prayer.” (al-Bukhaari,
Muslim)</div>
Obviously if we wait till the last few moments to pray, we will not
be at ease or be able to pay attention to what the Prophet (Sal Allaahu
Alaiyhi wa Sallam) has instructed to do. Obviously, we will end up
‘stealing’ from the prayer.<br />
And you know what, we may just rush through the Salaah, ‘getting it
over with’, as some of us like to say, but who knows how much of it was
even accepted by Allaah? For the reward that one gets for Salaah is in
proportion to the degree of khushoo he has in the prayer.<br />
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam) said:<br />
<div class="hadith-color">
“A slave may pray and have nothing recorded for
it except a tenth of it, or a ninth, or an eighth, or a seventh, or a
sixth, or a fifth, or a quarter, or a third, or a half.” ( Ahmad; Saheeh
al-Jaami’).</div>
We, as Muslim must hasten to prayer and with khushoo’, if we want to
increase our Imaan and good deeds. This is one of the attributes of the
believers whose hearts are attached to their prayers. The Prophet (Sal
Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam) would be attending to his family’s needs, then
when he would hear Bilaal give the adhaan, he would stop whatever he
was doing and rush to pray.<br />
He (Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam) used to say, “Let us relax with it [the prayer], O Bilaal.”<br />
He did not say, ‘Let us get it over with.’<br />
And he (Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam) said:<br />
<div class="hadith-color">
“Five prayers which Allaah has made obligatory.
Whoever does wudoo’ properly for them, prays them on time, does rukoo’
properly and has perfect khushoo’, it is a promise from Allaah that he
will be forgiven, but whoever does not do this, has no such promise – if
Allaah wishes, He will forgive him, and if He wishes, He will punish
him.” (Abu Dawood, Saheeh al-Jaami’).</div>
Those of us who are lazy and do not pray until the time is up for no
valid reason…those of us who just want to ‘get it over with’, should
remember what our deeds will say to us when we are in our grave:<br />
<div class="hadith-color">
“for the believer’s deeds will say to him in his
grave: “By Allaah, I only saw you quick to obey Allaah and slow to
disobey Him.” But in the case of the munaafiq (hypocrite) and faasiq
(evildoer), his deeds will say: “By Allaah, <a href="http://www.breitlingreplica.net/" style="color: #242423; text-decoration: none;">breitling replica watches</a> I only saw you slow to obey Allaah and quick to disobey Him.” ( Ahmad; saheeh by al-Albaani)</div>

Prayer (Salaah) is one of the most important pillars of Islam, second
only to the Shahaadah. It is also an individual obligation on each and
every one of us. The Ulama say that whoever does not do it because he
denies that it is obligatory or he does not do it because he is lazy and
heedless, is a kaafir.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Yet, there are innumerable excuses we come up with, to not pray, either on time or not pray at all.<br />
Some of the most common excuses are:<br />
<div class="subheading-color">
Excuse #1:Allah is al-Ghafoor ar-Raheem. He will forgive me.</div>
Reply: Yes, surely Allaah is al-Ghafoor ar-Raheem but, did you
forget, O Muslim, that He also said that He is ash-Shadeed ul-Iqaab
(severe in punishment).<br />
<div class="ayah-color">
“And fear Allaah much and know that Allaah is Severe in punishment.” (Surah al-Baqarah:196)</div>
And the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:<br />
<div class="hadith-color">
“The covenant that stands between us and them
(non-Muslims) is prayer; whoever gives up prayer is a kaafir.”
(Tirmidhi, al-Nasaa’i, Ibn Maajah–saheeh ).</div>
<div class="subheading-color">
Excuse #2: I know I have to pray, but I am too tired/lazy.</div>
Reply: Praying Salaat at its proper appointed times is an obligation
on every single person. Whoever deliberately misses a prayer exposes
himself to the wrath of Allaah, and the wise believer does not do
something which he knows could result in punishment.<br />
Just look at what the people of Hell will say when asked:<br />
<div class="ayah-color">
“What has caused you to enter Hell?” They will say: “We were not among those who prayed (Salaat).” [Surah al-Muddaththir:42-43]</div>
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:<br />
<div class="hadith-color">
“Between a man and kufr and shirk, there stands his giving up prayer.” (Muslim)</div>
Ibn Mas’ood said:<br />
<div class="hadith-color">
“No one keeps away from the prayer except a hypocrite who is known for his hypocrisy.”(Muslim)</div>
<div class="subheading-color">
Excuse #3: I am SO busy at work, I don’t have time to pray.</div>
Reply: So you mean to tell me that you can’t take out even a few
minutes out of the whole 24 hours to worship the very One Who created
you in the first place?? You mean you don’t have time to thank the Lord
of the worlds for everything He’s given you…..ALL His blessings?? What
kind of ungrateful soul are you??!!<br />
And if He wanted to take all these blessings away from you, is there anything, anything you could do?!!<br />
<div class="ayah-color">
“Men whom neither trade nor business diverts from
the remembrance of Allaah nor from performing As-Salaat nor from giving
Zakaat; they fear a Day when hearts and eyes will be overturned (out of
the horror of the torment of the Day of Resurrection).That Allaah may
reward them according to the best of their deeds, and add even more for
them out of His Grace. And Allaah provides without measure to whom He
wills.” [Surah al-Noor:37-38]</div>
<div class="subheading-color">
Excuse #4: I pray; I just delay it until it is convenient for me or I pray it Qadaa.</div>
Reply: You should understand that delaying prayer beyond the time when it is due is a major sin, because Allaah says:<br />
<div class="ayah-color">
“Verily, As-Salaah (the prayer) is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours.” [Surah al-Nisa’:103]</div>
And Allaah says:<br />
<div class="ayah-color">
“So woe unto those performers of Salaah (prayers).
Those who delay their Salaah (prayer from their stated fixed times).”
[Surah al-Maa’oon :4,5]</div>
<div class="subheading-color">
Excuse #5: I pray the 4 prayers. I only miss Fajr because I have to do Ghusl.</div>
Reply: Allaah has enjoined upon you and me the FIVE prayers, NOT
FOUR. How can a Muslim willingly expose himself to the wrath of Allaah
and His punishment, just because he finds it difficult to do ghusl? In
fact, it is NOT difficult to do ghusl, it is VERY easy, apart from the
tricks that the Shaytaan tries to play on people. Allaah is talking to
you and me when He says:<br />
<div class="ayah-color">
“Enter completely in Islam (by obeying all the rules and regulations of the Islamic religion).” [Baqarah :208]</div>
<div class="ayah-color">
“Successful indeed are the believers. Those who
offer their Salaat with all solemnity and full submissiveness…’
[al-Mu’minoon:1-2]</div>
<div class="ayah-color">
“And those who strictly guard their (five compulsory) Salawaat (at their fixed stated hours).” [al-Mu’minoon 23:9]</div>
<div class="subheading-color">
Excuse #6: My position/boss/studies/does not allow me.</div>
Reply: Remember that the Prophet (pbuh) mentioned prayer one day and said:<br />
<div class="hadith-color">
“Whoever observes it regularly, it will be light
and a proof and salvation on the Day of Resurrection, and whoever does
not observe it regularly, it will not be a light or a proof or salvation
for him, and on the Day of Resurrection he will be with Qaroon,
Fir’aun, Hamaan and Ubayy ibn Khalaf.” (Ahmad).</div>
Ibn al-Qayyim said: These four people are mentioned because they are
the leaders of kufr. This makes an important point about the one who
does not observe regular prayer, whether that is because he is
distracted by his wealth, his power, his position of leadership or his
business. The one who is distracted from it by his wealth will be with
Qaroon; the one who is distracted by his power will be with Fir’aun; the
one who is distracted by his position of leadership will be with Hamaan
and the one who is distracted by his business will be with Ubayy ibn
Khalaf.”<br />
<div class="subheading-color">
Excuse #7: If I pray, I will be fired from my job!</div>
Reply: Remember that it is not your boss, but Allaah that provides
RIZQ for you and me. If this job is keeping you away from the most
important duty as a Muslim, is this job really worth it? And whoever
gives up something for the sake of Allaah, Allaah will compensate him
with something better than that.<br />
<div class="ayah-color">
“And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to
Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And
He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever
puts his trust in Allaah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allaah will
accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allaah has set a measure for all
things.” [Talaaq:2-3]</div>
<div class="subheading-color">
Excuse #8: I want to pray but my children are so young I can’t leave them and pray</div>
Reply:<br />
<div class="ayah-color">
“O you who believe! Let not your properties or
your children divert you from the remembrance of Allaah. And whosoever
does that, then they are the LOSERS.” (Surah al-Munaafiqoon:9)</div>
<div class="subheading-color">
Excuse #9: I can’t pray at my job/school/public place. I am too embarrassed /they will think I am a TERRORIST!</div>
Reply: How can a Muslim feel embarrassed about proclaiming the truth
and worshipping his Lord openly, hastening to fulfill the command of
Allaah at the time when Allaah has said it is to be done? Also, if you
uphold your duty to pray, Allaah will never let you down. He is the one
to protect you and save you from all harm, no matter what anyone tries
to plot against you. Remember that the one who is protected by Allaah,
NO ONE CAN HARM.<br />
<div class="ayah-color">
“Whoever works righteousness, whether male or
female, while he (or she) is a true believer- verily, to him We will
give a good life, and We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion
to the best of what they used to do.” [Surah al-Nahl:97]</div>
<div class="subheading-color">
Excuse #10: If I pray, people will think that I show off. So I don’t pray.</div>
Reply: Just as the Shaytaan comes to the Muslim to make him admire
his actions and show off to people, sometimes he uses the opposite trick
and makes a person think that he is showing off while fulfilling his
relogious obligations, so that he will not do it. So just ignore these
whisperings from the Shaytaan and don’t let him keep you away from this
major Ibadah. DO NOT let him win.<br />
Ibraaheem al-Nakhaa’i said: “If the Shaytaan comes to you when you
are praying and says, ‘You are showing off’, then you should make it
even longer…”<br />
<div class="ayah-color">
“And if an evil whisper comes to you from
Shaytaan, then seek refuge with Allaah. Verily, He is All-Hearer,
All-Knower.” [Surah al-Aa’raaf:200]</div>
<div class="subheading-color">
Excuse #11: I have made/am making so many mistakes in my life, it is no use for me to pray. Allaah will never forgive me.</div>
Reply: Now, this is another one of the tricks of Shaytaan.He does not
want you to do Tawbah, because he knows, if you sincerely repent to
Allaah for ALL that you have done, Allaah WILL FORGIVE YOU.<br />
Allaah encourages us to do tauba when He said:<br />
<div class="ayah-color">
“Say: ‘O My slaves, who have transgressed against
themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy
of Allaah, verily, Allaah forgives all sins. Truly, He is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” [Surah al-Zumar:53]</div>
Subhaan Allaah! How Forgiving is our Rabb and how Merciful!<br />
Isn’t this Ayah enough, even for the worst of sinners among us?<br />
And remember, doing good deeds wipes out sins.<br />
<div class="ayah-color">
“And perform As-Salaah, at the two ends of the day
and in some hours of the night [i.e. the five compulsory prayers].
Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds.” [Surah Hood:114]</div>
<div class="subheading-color">
Excuse #12: I don’t pray, but I have a good heart.</div>
I am a good person and I never hurt anyone.<br />
Reply: The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:<br />
<div class="hadith-color">
“The first matter that the slave will be brought
to account for on the Day of Judgment is the prayer. If it is sound,
then the rest of his deeds will be sound. And if it is bad, then the
rest of his deeds will be bad.” (Tabarani).</div>
So no matter what good deeds you did in this dunya, if you didn’t
pray, nothing will count or even be accepted…..no zakaah, no fasting, no
Hajj, no nothing.<br />
<div class="hadith-color">
“Whoever does not pray ‘Asr, his good deeds will be annulled.” (Bukhaari).</div>
<div class="subheading-color">
Excuse #13: But, I pray every Jumuah. Isn’t that enough?</div>
Reply: With regard to the ruling on one who prays Jumu’ah only, some
of the scholars are of the view that one who prays Jumu’ah only is a
kaafir, because he comes under the same ruling as one who does not pray
at all, because he prays only one of the thirty-five prayers required
each week, so he is like one who does not pray at all. (Fatawa Shaykh
ibn Baaz and Ibn Uthaymeen).<br />
Some scholars said that he is not a kaafir but he is committing a great
sin that is worse than riba (usury), adultery, stealing, drinking
alcohol etc.<br />
<div class="subheading-color">
Excuse #14: My spouse/parents don’t pray. Why should I??</div>
Reply: Just because your family does something sinful, does not mean
that you do the same. Remember, they will NOT be there to save you when
Allaah will ask YOU about YOUR Salaah. In fact, your duty is to call
them to Allah by advising them and setting a good example for them to
follow.<br />
<div class="ayah-color">
“And enjoin al-Salaah on your family, and be
patient in offering them [the prayers]. We ask not of you a provision;
We provide for you. And the good end (Paradise) is for the muttaqoon
(pious).” [Ta-Ha:132]</div>
<div class="subheading-color">
Excuse #15: I will pray when I am older/after Hajj/ Ramadhan.</div>
Reply: Do you want to be from these people that Allaah is talking about??<br />
<div class="ayah-color">
“Then, there has succeeded them a generation who
have given up As-Salaah and have followed lusts. So they will be thrown
in Hell.” [Maryam:59]</div>
And, how do you know you will live to be older? Or live until Hajj or Ramadhaan??<br />
What if you die tomorrow?? What if it was today???<br />
<div class="subheading-color">
CONCLUSION:</div>
There can be no excuses as far as Salaah is concerned. We have to pray all the five prayers and all of them on time.<br />
<div class="ahay-color">
“O you who believe! Fear Allaah, and be with those who are true (in words and deeds).” [ al-Tawbah:119]</div>
<div class="ayah-color">
“Guard strictly the (five obligatory) prayers,
especially the middle Salaat (˜Asr). And stand before Allaah with
obedience.” [Surah al-Baqarah 2:238]</div>

<span style="color: black;">Many of us complain that we miss Salat
al-Fajr and hardly even Pray it at right time. Some of us wake up after
the sun has risen. Some complain that they try to wake up at Right time
but don’t succeed. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">before discussing he solution if this problem, a Muslim should know the importance of Salaat Al-Fajr.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<h2>
<span style="color: red;"><b> </b><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>Importance of Salat al-Fajr:</b></span></span></h2>
<span style="color: black;">The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: </span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: green;"><b>“Whoever prays the
dawn prayer in congregation, it is as if he had prayed the whole night
long.” (Muslim, p. 454, no. 656; al-Tirmidhi, 221).</b></span></blockquote>
<span style="color: black;">The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also said: </span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: green;"><b>“The most burdensome
prayers for the hypocrites are salaat al-’isha’ and salaat al-fajr, but
if they only knew what they contain, they would come even if they had
to crawl.” (Reported by Imaam Ahmad, al-Musnad, 2/424; Saheeh al-Jaami’,
133).</b></span><br />
<span style="color: green;"><b>“Whoever prays fajr is under the
protection of Allaah. Do not put yourselves in a situation where Allaah
has to call you to account for your negligence.” (Reported by
al-Tabaraani, 7/267; Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 6344).</b></span><br />
<span style="color: green;"><b>“Angels come to you in shifts by
night and by day. They meet at salaat al-fajr and salaat al-‘asr, then
those who had stayed with you at night ascend, and are asked by the One
Who knows better than they: ‘How did you find My servants?’ They say,
‘We left them when they were praying, and we came to them when they were
praying.’” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, 2/33).</b></span><br />
<span style="color: green;"><b>“The best of prayers in the
sight of Allaah is the dawn prayer on Friday, in congregation.”
(Reported by Abu Na’eem in al-Hilyah, 7/207, and in al-Silsilah
al-Saheehah, 1566).</b></span></blockquote>
<span style="color: black;">According to a saheeh hadeeth: </span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: green;"><b>“Whoever prays al-Bardayn will enter Paradise.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, 2/52). Al-Bardayn are fajr and ‘asr.</b></span></blockquote>
<span style="color: black;">It is reported that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with them both) said: </span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: green;"><b>“If we did not see a person at fajr and ‘isha’ prayers, we would think badly of him.” (Reported by al-Tabaraani).</b></span></blockquote>
<span style="color: black;">They thought badly of a person who was
absent from these two prayers because regular performance of them is an
indication of a person’s faith and a measure of his sincerity. Other
prayers may be easier to do because they are more convenient to a
person’s circumstances and fit in with his work and his sleep, but only
those who are determined and sincere, people whom one hopes are good
people, will be able to pray fajr and ‘isha’ regularly in congregation.</span><br />
<h1>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: red;"><b>How to Wake up for Fajr?</b></span></span></h1>
<h2>
<b>1. Sleeping early:</b></h2>
<span style="color: black;">According to Hadith, The Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to dislike sleeping before
‘isha’ and talking afterwards. The Muslim should not sleep before salaat
al-’isha’ because it is obvious that most of those who sleep before it
will spend the rest of the night feeling so tired and heavy that it will
be as if they are ill. Also, the Muslim should not talk after ‘isha’,
it is because doing so leads to people staying up late, which in turns
leads to the fear that they will sleep and miss qiyaam al-layl, or the
correct or preferred time for fajr prayer. The kind of talk that is
disliked after ‘isha’, is that in which there is no clear benefit, but
if there is some benefit – such as studying and gaining knowledge,
learning stories of righteous people, speaking to a guest, spending time
with one’s wife and family, speaking to travellers and taking care of
them and their luggage, or any other permissible reason – then there is
nothing wrong with it. So the Muslim should sleep early, so that he can
wake up refreshed to pray fajr and avoid the kind of late nights that
make him too tired to get up and pray fajr in congregation. Making sure
that one is clean (taahir) and reciting adhkaar (prayers) before
sleeping. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">This helps a person to get up for fajr.
Having a sincere intention and being determined, when going to sleep,
that one will get up for fajr. But a person who goes to sleep hoping
that the alarm will not go off, and that no one will come and wake him
up, will not – with such a corrupt intention – be able to get up to pray
fajr whilst he still has this bad intention. Remembering Allaah as soon
as one wakes up. Some people may initially wake up, then they go back
to sleep again. But if a person remembers Allaah straight after waking
up, this will loosen one of the knots of Shaytaan, and will motivate him
to get up. When he performs wudoo’, his determination becomes stronger,
and Shaytaan is driven further away, and when he prays, his shaytaan is
defeated, his balance (of good deeds) becomes heavier, and he will feel
happy and energetic. Seeking help from one’s family and friends to pray
fajr, and encouraging one another in this regard. This is essential,
and is undoubtedly included in the words of Allaah (interpretation of
the meanings):</span><br />
<blockquote>
<b><span style="color: red;"> “… Help you one another in al-birr and al-taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety)…” [al-Maa’idah 5:2] </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">“By al-‘asr (time). Verily! Man
is in loss, except those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and
recommend one another to the truth and recommend one another to
patience.” [al-‘Asr 103:1-3]</span></b></blockquote>
<span style="color: black;">The Muslim should encourage his wife,
for example by waking her up to pray fajr, and she should encourage him,
no matter how tired and exhausted he may be. Children should also seek
their father’s help to wake up, so he can wake them when it is time for
the prayer. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">No father should say “They have exams,
they are tired, let them sleep, poor kids.” It is a mistake to think
that be doing this one is being a kind and merciful parent; true
parental mercy means that the father wakes them up to worship Allaah.</span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: red;"><b> “And enjoin al-salaah (the prayer) on your family, and be patient in offering them (the prayers)…” [Ta-Ha 20:132].</b></span></blockquote>
<span style="color: black;"> Just as family members should help and
encourage one another to pray fajr, so brothers in Islam can also help
one another. For example, university students living in the same
residence or neighbours in the same neighbourhood can help one another
by knocking on a neighbour’s door to wake him for prayer and helping him
to worship Allaah. Praying to Allaah to help him to wake up to pray
fajr in congregation. Du’aa’ is one of the greatest sources of strength
and success in all things. Using various means of being woken up, such
as alarm clocks. These should be put in the most appropriate place. Some
people put the alarm clock next to their head, and when it rings, they
turn if off at once and go straight back to sleep. Such a person should
put the clock a little further away, so that he can feel that it is
really waking him up. One can also arrange to receive alarm calls from
the telephone company, and no Muslim should think that it is too much to
pay for this service if he needs it, because this is spending in the
way of Allaah, and waking up to obey the command of Allaah cannot be
measured in terms of worldly wealth.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="color: black;"><b>2. Throwing water in the face of the person who is sleeping:</b> </span></h2>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: green;"><b>The Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) praised the man who gets up at
night to pray, and wakes his wife, and when she refuses to get up, he
throws water in her face; and he praised the woman who gets up at night
to pray, and wakes her husband, and when he refuses to get up, she
throws water in his face. (Reported by Imaam Ahmad in al-Musnad, 2/250;
Saheeh al-Jaami’, 3494). </b></span></blockquote>
<span style="color: black;">Throwing water in a person’s face is one
of the means of waking a person for prayer that is prescribed by
sharee’ah. In fact it is quite refreshing and energizing. Some people
may become enraged when woken in this manner, and they may shout and
swear and issue threats, so the person who is seeking to wake another
should employ wisdom and patience, and remember that the pens are lifted
from the record of one who is sleeping (i.e., his deeds are not being
recorded while he is asleep) – so he should put up with any bad
treatment, and not let this put him off trying to wake people up for
prayer. Not sleeping alone. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">The Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) forbade any man to sleep alone. (Reported by Imaam
Ahmad in al-Musnad, 2/91; al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, no. 60). Perhaps the
wisdom behind this prohibition is that a person could sleep too long if
there is no-one to wake him up for prayer Not sleeping in remote places
where it would not occur to anyone that someone could be sleeping there,
such as a person sleeping on the roof of a house without telling his
family where he is, or sleeping in a remote part of the house or student
residence, so that no-one will know to wake him for prayer, but
everyone will think that he is in the mosque when in fact he is fast
asleep. Anyone who needs to sleep in a remote place should tell the
people around him where he will be so that they can come and wake him.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="color: black;"><b>3. Being lively and active upon waking: </b></span></h2>
<span style="color: black;"><b></b>One should get up
straightaway, and not wake up in stages, as some people do. A person
could be woken up several times, and each time he gets up, but when his
friend leaves, he goes back to bed. Waking up in stages usually ends in
failure, and the only way to prevent falling asleep again is to get up
straight away. Not setting the alarm too early. If a person knows that
there is still a long time to go until the time of the prayer, he may
think, “I still have time, let me sleep a little more…” Everyone should
know how to handle himself and avoid this situation. Lighting a lamp
when waking up – or, in our modern times, switching on the light. This
has the effect of dispelling sleepiness. Not staying up late, even to
pray qiyaam al-layl. Some people may stay up late to pray qiyaam
al-layl, then fall asleep a few minutes before fajr and be unable to
wake up for the prayer. This happens a lot in Ramadaan – people stay up
late and sleep a little while before fajr, so they miss the prayer. No
doubt this is a grave error, because fard (obligatory) prayer should
take precedence over naafil (supererogatory) prayer.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="color: black;"><b>4. Not eating too much before going to sleep:</b> </span></h2>
<span style="color: black;">Eating too much makes one sleep deeply.
The one who eats a lot gets very tired, and sleeps a lot, thus losing a
lot. So one should try to eat lightly in the evening. Warning about the
misinterpretation of the sunnah to lie down after praying the sunnah of
fajr. Some people may have heard the hadeeth in which the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: </span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: green;"><b>“When any one of you has prayed, let him lie down on his right side.” (Reported by al-Tirmidhi, no. 420; Saheeh al-Jaami’, 642).</b></span></blockquote>
<span style="color: black;"> It was also reported that when the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had prayed the
sunnah of fajr, he would lie down, then Bilaal would call him to prayer,
and he would stand up to pray. People may have heard these ahaadeeth,
and be keen to follow this proven sunnah, but they do not understand how
to do it properly. So a person may pray the sunnah of fajr, then lie
down on his right side, and fall fast asleep until the sun rises. This
is because of a lack of proper understanding. The lying down is not for
the purpose of sleeping, and Bilaal used to come and tell the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when it was time to pray. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Moreover, as was reported by Imaam Ahmad
and Ibn Hibbaan in a saheeh hadeeth, if the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) wanted to rest before fajr, he would
put his head on his right palm, propped up on his elbow. (Reported by
Ahmad in al-Musnad, 5/298; Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 4752). </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">This kind of resting prevents one from
falling fast asleep, because in this case one’s head is propped up on
one’s palm and elbow, and will drop if one dozes off, thus waking one up
again. In addition to this, Bilaal was entrusted with the
responsibility of waking the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) for the fajr prayer. Praying qiyaam al-layl late in the night,
just before fajr, so that when one finishes witr, the call for fajr
prayer is given, making the worship continuous. The night prayer should
be offered during the last third of the night – which is the preferred
time – and immediately followed by the fajr prayer, whilst one is
feeling awake and energetic.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="color: black;"><b>5. Following the example of the Prophet (P.B.U.H) in lying down to sleep:</b> </span></h2>
<span style="color: black;">So a person should lie on his right
side, placing his right cheek on his right hand. This position makes it
easy to wake up. The best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and this is better than sleeping
in any other position which may make it difficult to wake up.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="color: black;"><b>6. Helping oneself by taking a nap during the day:</b> </span></h2>
<span style="color: black;">because this will help a person by
making him need less sleep at night. Not sleeping after ‘asr or maghrib,
because this will make a person sleep late, and whoever sleeps late
will find it difficult to wake up.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="color: black;"><b>7. Sincere devotion to Allaah: </b></span></h2>
<span style="color: black;"><b></b>This is the best thing
to motivate a person to get up for prayer, because Allaah is the One Who
is controlling all means of help. If a person has that true sincerity
and his heart is burning with devotion to Allaah, then Allaah will help
him to get up to pray fajr in congregation, even if he goes to sleep
only a few moments before fajr. This sincerity and devotion may cause
some very enthusiastic people to find unusual ways to help themselves to
wake up to pray, which is a sign of their eagerness and keenness. One
of them may set a number of alarm clocks to wake him up, setting each
one a few minutes later than the other, so that if he turns the first
one off, the next one will wake him a few moments later, and so on.
Another may tie a string to his wrist, with the other end dangling from
his window, so that when one of his friends passes by on his way to the
mosque, he can pull on the string and wake him for fajr prayer. See what
can be achieved with sincerity and determination!</span><br />

Those who remember Allah (always, and in prayers) standing, sitting,
and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of
the heavens and the earth, (saying): "Our Lord! You have not created
(all) this without purpose, glory to You! (Exalted are You above all
that they associate with You as partners). Give us salvation from the
torment of the Fire.(3:191)

forget, O Muslim, that He also said that He is ash-Shadeedul-Iqaab
(severe in punishment).“And fear Allaah much and know that Allaah is
Severe in punishment.” (Surah al-Baqarah:196)<br />

Reply: Praying Salaat at its proper appointed times is an obligation
on every single person. Whoever deliberately misses a prayer exposes
himself to the wrath of Allaah, and the wise believer does not do
something which he knows could result in punishment.Just look at what
the people of Hell will say when asked:“What has caused you to enter
Hell?” They will say: “We were not among those who prayed (Salaat).”
[Surah al-Muddaththir:42-43]The Prophet (Sal AllaahuAlaiyhiwaSallam)
said: “Between a man and kufr and shirk, there stands his giving up
prayer.” (Muslim)<br />Excuse #2: I know I have to pray, but I am
too tired/lazy.<br />

Excuse #3: I am SO busy at work, I don’t have time to pray<br

minutes out of the whole 24 hours to worship the very One Who created
you in the first place?? You mean you don’t have time to thank the Lord
of the worlds for everything He’s given you…..ALL His blessings?? What
kind of ungrateful soul are you??!!<br />

</a>
Excuse #4: I pray; I just delay it until it is convenient for me or I
pray it Qadaa<br />Reply: You should understand that delaying
prayer beyond the time when it is due is a major sin, because Allaah
says:<br />“Verily, As-Salaah (the prayer) is enjoined on the
believers at fixed hours.” [Surah al-Nisa':103]<br />

</a>
Excuse #5: I pray the 4 prayers. I only miss Fajr because I have to
do Ghusl.<br />Reply: Allaah has enjoined upon you and me the FIVE
prayers, NOT FOUR. How can a Muslim willingly expose himself to the
wrath of Allaah and His punishment, just because he finds it difficult
to do ghusl? In fact, it is NOT difficult to do ghusl, it is VERY easy,
apart from the tricks that the Shaytaan tries to play on people. Allaah
is talking to you and me when He says:“Enter completely in Islam (by
obeying all the rules and regulations of the Islamic religion).”
[Baqarah :208]<br />

Excuse #6: My position/boss/studies/does not allow me<br
/>Reply: Remember that the Prophet (pbuh) mentioned prayer one day
and said: “Whoever observes it regularly, it will be light and a proof
and salvation on the Day of Resurrection, and whoever does not observe
it regularly, it will not be a light or a proof or salvation for him,
and on the Day of Resurrection he will be with Qaroon, Fir’aun, Hamaan
and UbayyibnKhalaf.” (Ahmad).<br />

</a>
Reply: How can a Muslim feel embarrassed about proclaiming the truth
and worshipping his Lord openly, hastening to fulfill the command of
Allaah at the time when Allaah has said it is to be done? Also, if you
uphold your duty to pray, Allaah will never let you down. He is the one
to protect you and save you from all harm, no matter what anyone tries
to plot against you. Remember that the one who is protected by Allaah,
NO ONE CAN HARM.<br />Excuse #9: I can’t pray at my
job/school/public place. I am too embarrassed /they will think I am a
TERRORIST<br />

</a>
Excuse #10: If I pray, people will think that I show off. So I don’t
pray.<br />Reply: Just as the Shaytaan comes to the Muslim to
make him admire his actions and show off to people, sometimes he uses
the opposite trick and makes a person think that he is showing off while
fulfilling his religious obligations, so that he will not do it. So
just ignore these whisperings from the Shaytaan and don’t let him keep
you away from this major Ibadah. DO NOT let him win.<br />

</a>
Excuse #11: I have made/am making so many mistakes in my life, it is
no use for me to pray. Allaah will never forgive me<br />Reply:
Now, this is another one of the tricks of Shaytaan.He does not want you
to do Tawbah, because he knows, if you sincerely repent to Allaah for
ALL that you have done, Allaah WILL FORGIVE YOU.<br />

Excuse #12: I don’t pray, but I have a good heart. <br
/>Reply: The Prophet (Sal AllaahuAlaiyhiwaSallam) said: “The first
matter that the slave will be brought to account for on the Day of
Judgment is the prayer. If it is sound, then the rest of his deeds will
be sound. And if it is bad, then the rest of his deeds will be bad.”
(Tabarani).<br />

</a>
Excuse #13: But, I pray every Jumuah. Isn’t that enough?<br
/>Reply: With regard to the ruling on one who prays Jumu’ah only,
some of the scholars are of the view that one who prays Jumu’ah only is a
kaafir, because he comes under the same ruling as one who does not pray
at all, because he prays only one of the thirty-five prayers required
each week, so he is like one who does not pray at all.
(FatawaShaykhibnBaaz and IbnUthaymeen).Some scholars said that he is not
a kaafir but he is committing a great sin that is worse than riba
(usury), adultery, stealing, drinking alcohol etc.<br />

</a>
Excuse #14: My spouse/parents don’t pray. Why should I? should
I?<br />Reply: Just because your family does something sinful,
does not mean that you do the same. Remember, they will NOT be there to
save you when Allaah will ask YOU about YOUR Salaah. In fact, your duty
is to call them to Allah by advising them and setting a good example for
them to follow.<br />

Excuse #15: I will pray when I am older/after Hajj/ Ramadhan<br
/>Reply: Do you want to be from these people that Allaah is talking
about??“Then, there has succeeded them a generation who have given up
As-Salaah and have followed lusts. So they will be thrown in Hell.”
[Maryam:59]And, how do you know you will live to be older? Or live until
Hajj or Ramadhaan??What if you die tomorrow?? What if it was
today???<br />

</a>
CONCLUSION: There can be no excuses as far as Salaah is concerned.
We have to pray all the five prayers and all of them on time.“O you who
believe! Fear Allaah, and be with those who are true (in words and
deeds).” [ al-Tawbah:119]<br />“Guard strictly the (five
obligatory) prayers, especially the middle Salaat (˜Asr). And stand
before Allaah with obedience.” [Surah al-Baqarah 2:238]</li>
