Day 10

RAMADHAN DAY 10

“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 incomplete, then the rest of his deeds will be incomplete.” (Al-Tabarani)

Solat, or prayers in Islam is EXTREMELY, AWESOMELY important that it shapes a Muslim. It keeps us away from sins, as God has stated:
“Verily, the prayer keeps one from the great sins and evil deeds” (29:45) And by praying, God erases sins too!

“If a person had a stream outside his door and he bathed in it five times a day, do you think he would have any filth left on him?” The people said, “No filth would remain on him whatsoever.” The Prophet then said, “That is like the five daily prayers: God wipes away the sins by them.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

Personally, I find praying to be relaxing and magical. Tho' I'm not -very- kusyu' (improving, insyallah), I would always tell myself that when I'm praying, I am the closest to Allah. (In fact, when Muslims sujud/sujdah, they are the closest to Allah)

To those who have been praying for Allah, I wish you GOOD JOB and may Allah grant you with unlimited rewards and Paradise; Let's all improvise our solat! ♥

And to those who have not been praying very much or not at all, tell yourself that you gotta START NOW (Yes, now!), and Ramadhan is the perfect time to do it for devils are chained. Give yourself a little credit and a push! You are a Muslim after all!
And don't forget to seek Allah for forgiveness for all the salat and prayers you have missed. He surely listens :) ♥

"Say: O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” [Sûrah al-Zumar: 53]

Let's all be better Muslims, AMIN.
