alhamdulillah
we begin in this lesson to talk about
prayer now prayer linguistically refers
to Dua or supplication or
invocation Allah Asel says and invoke
Allah's blessings upon
them Allah says indeed your invocations
are a reassurance for them so this is
the linguistic definition
of invocation or
supplication what is the Islamic
terminology the
legislative
definition it is worshiping
Allah with
specific things that we say words
and actions or movement starting with
the and ending with the
Tas so it has to be specific words and
actions and it has to begin with
allb ending up
with and most importantly that you want
and intend to worship Allah Asel when
doing so
it is the second
pillar of
Islam as the Hadith ofar may Allah be
pleased with him indicates where the
Prophet said sallallahu alaihi wasallam
Islam is built on Five Pillars and he
mentioned the second one to be to offer
the prayers or to observe the
prayers and what are the virtues of
Salat it would take us ages to speak to
speak about the importance and the
beauty of this form of
worship abu's Hadith may Allah be
pleased with him that the prophet said
the five daily
prayers the Juma prayer to the Juma
prayer the one Ramadan to the next are
an experation for what comes between
them if one avoids major s so these five
daily prayers act as a cleansing factor
that erases our minor sins if we observe
them on
time and also Abu says may Allah be
pleased with him that the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam said what do
you think if there was a river by the
door of any one of you and he bathed in
it five times a day would there be any
trace of dirt left on him so they said
no trace of dirt would be left on him or
prophet of Allah and the prophet says
that is like the five daily prayers by
means of which Allah erases
sins but why is prayers of such huge and
great
nature
well what one of
the reasons why prayers are having this
huge and high status in Islam is that
Allah
delayed mandating it until it was the
Glorious night where the Prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam was
ascended to the seventh heaven
and it was given directly to the prophet
Alam
without being done through the Archangel
giel peace be upon him as the rest
of the commands of
Allah and it was mandated in the seventh
heaven not on
Earth so it was done directly by Allah
it was done in the seventh heaven
and it was initially 50 prayers a
day imagine every half an hour we were
supposed to go and pray every half an
hour and then when the prophet met MSA
peace be upon him he told him I've dealt
with the Jews and your people are no
different they would not accept this
they will not come comply go back and
ask Allah to reduce them so the prophet
kept on going and asking for
reduction until it was
done five prayers a day but with the
reward of
and why are we obliged to pray what's
the
reason again
everything in Shar everything in Islam
is done for our own
benefits nothing benefits Allah because
Allah doesn't need us so you know
instead of looking on to what's the
wisdom what what are the
benefits we should
comply believing that it is a form of
worship that Allah ordered us to perform
and we do it because we ordered to do it
this is a manifestation of our
submitting our will to
Allah beside the point
that during the day and
night we may face a lot of Trials
Temptations things that would reduce our
Iman and decrease it so we
need a form of
energizing it and boosting the Iman back
again and this is done beautifully by
these five daily prayers we
need to get the
fuel which we usually get when we stand
in
submissiveness in front of
allaha expressing our poverty and
humility to him subhanahu wa'ta'ala
expressing that we are
servants complying with whatever he
commands us to do we need prayers when
we talk to our Lord on daily basis by
reciting the Quran by making Vick by
making Dua it's the connection between
us and our Lord and this is what throws
tranquility and peace in our souls so
that we can cope with whatever is going
around us in this life until we me we
meet our day and we meet our
maker
