The prophet, peace be upon him, has introduced Salah the column of Islam. Unfortunately, many of Muslims show heedlessness on prayers. They consider it an ordinary act; it is the wile of Satan to show the important worship an unimportant.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cAll worships in Islam have particular influences. By offering prayers the man connects himself with the Almighty. It is a direct connection with the Exalted. Namaz is the best way to get closer to the Almighty,\u201d he added more.<br \/>\nUrging on offering prayers in the first moments of prayers\u2019 time, the rector of Darululoom Zahedan said, \u201cThe Noble Qur\u2019an and Sunnah urge on offering prayers in the first moments of Salah time a lot. Five-time prayers make the person connected with the Almighty whole the day. The prayers should be offered in the specified times. Nothing is worthy to think of it during prayers. We should sacrifice all routine works for the prayers.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cAccording to a Hadith, if somebody misses the Asr prayers unintentionally, it is a big loss for him as he has lost family and wealth. If the man misses the prayers deliberately, it is like destruction of the whole life. None of other worships and rituals can save the man from the Divine punishment,\u201d he underlined.<br \/>\nShaikh Abdol-Hamid went on to say more, \u201cPrayers should be offered with reverence, full attention and showing humbleness. The people who offer prayers with laziness and negligence have been decried by the Almighty. Allah the Exalted says in the Noble Qur\u2019an: \u2018Woe to those who pray but are heedless in their Prayers\u2019 [107: 4-5]; it means woe to the performers of Salah who do not know why they bow before the Almighty.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOffering prayer is a kind of worship which cannot be abandoned even the person is ill; s\/he can offer it while sitting or stretching on the bed. The man can delay Prayers to another time only when he cannot move his head due to illness,\u201d he pointed out to some rulings of the obligatory Prayers.<br \/>\nThe Hadith teacher at Darululoom Zahedan further said, \u201cIt is regrettable that many people do not offer Prayers but they consider themselves \u2018Muslims\u2019. While it has come in the Narrations that the difference between Islam and infidelity is the Prayers. Even some of the jurists have said the one who does not offer Prayers is out of Islam and should not be laid in the graveyard of Muslims.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Establishment of Prayers, a solution to Muslim world\u2019s crises<\/strong><br \/>\nShaikh Abdol-Hamid shed light on the consequences of establishing Prayers and said, \u201cMuslims want to see their all problems resolved, while getting victory without the Qur\u2019an and Sunnah is impossible. In a Hajj trip, I met one of the leaders of \u201cHamas\u201d; I told him: Convey my message to the Palestinian nation, if they want victory and to liberate their country from occupation, they should focus on the establishment of Prayers. All Palestinians should offer Prayers in mosques, homes, parks, streets and roads.\u201d<br \/>\nUrging of establishing Prayers in congregation, he said, \u201cPrayers should be offered in congregation. During the era of the Companions, if there was anyone ill, they used to shoulder him to the mosque for offering Prayers with congregation.\u201d<br \/>\nMawlana Abdol-Hamid concluded his points by calling on the audience to motivate their family members, relatives and the rest of people to establish prayers on time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pointing out to the influences of prayers (Salah) in social and personal life of people, Shaikh Abdol-Hamid termed it a worship that links servants with the Almighty directly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6788,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c81-speeches"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
