LET US NOT NEGLECT OUR SALAH!!! A reminder for US ALL



***EVERYTHING IS A REMINDER TO MYSELF FIRST AND FOREMOST***
 Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle Salalahu Alaihu Wa Salam saying, "If there was a river at the door of anyone of you and he took a bath in it five times a day would you notice any dirt on him?" They said, "Not a trace of dirt would be left." The Prophet Salalahu Alaihi Wa Salam added, "That is the example of the five prayers with which Allah blots out (annuls) evil deeds." (Sahih Al Bukhari Volume 1, Book 10, Hadith # 506)

Rasulullah Salalahu Alaihi Wa Salam said "Allah has obligated five prayers. Whoever excellently performs their ablutions, prays them in their proper times, completes their bows, prostrations and khushu` [Khushu` in the prayer is where the person’s heart is attuned to the prayer.] has a promise from Allah that He will forgive him. And whoever does not do that has no promise from Allah. He may either forgive him or punish him." [Recorded by Malik, Ahmad, Abu Dawud, al-Nasa’I and others. According to al-Albani, it is sahih. Al-Albani, Sahih al-Jami, vol. 1, p. 616.]

Note: SubhanAllah,  Allah Subuhana Wata A'la is giving us a PROMISE that He will forgive us! What more can we ask for? We should realize that prayer is a way for us to get our sins forgiven. 

Informing us about the inhabitants of Hell, Allaah Subuhana Wata A'la says "(The people in Hell will be asked:) What has caused you to enter Hell? They will say: "We were not of those who used to offer their Salât (prayers). Nor did we feed the poor. And we used to talk falsehood (all that which Allaah hated) with vain-talkers. And we used to belie the Day of Recompense. Until there came to us that which is certain (i.e., death). So no Intercession of intercessors will benefit them. (Surah Al-Muddaththir, ayah 42-48)

Rasulullah Salalahu Alaihi Wa Salam said "The covenant between us and them is prayer, so if anyone abandons it he has become a disbeliever." (Agreed upon by Ahmad, Tirmidhee and Nasaa'ee to be authentic).

In an other Hadith of Rasulullah Salalahu Alaihi Wa Salam said "What lies between a man and disbelief is the abandonment of prayer." ( Agreed upon by Muslim, Abu Dawood and Nasaa'ee as sahih authentic).




We seek refuge from Allah the Most Merciful from all punishments and His Wrath. We ask Allah to have mercy on us, to forgive us for all our sins, weaknesses, shortcomings, and all our major and minor transgressions. We ask Allah to save us from His punishment in the dunya, in the grave and in the akhira. Ya Allah save us from the fire of Jahannam. Ameen Ya Mujib. Ameen Ya Allah. Ameen Ya Samad. Ameen Ya Rahim. Ameen Ya Rahman.
May Allah keep us Among Muslims, those who Submit and Pray to their Lord 5 Times a day. Ameeen thumma Ameen...

*Thank you brother Cherif for the reminder and again
