SALAAT
Allah is our Lord and Creator i.e. He has created us. He has ordained five salaats upon his slaves everyday. These are:
1. Salaat-ul-Fajr, which is performed before sunrise.
2. Salaat-uz-Zuhr, which is performed after the sun declines.
3. Salaat-ul-Asr, which is performed one and a half or two hours before sunset.
4. Salaat-ul-Maghrib, which is performed once the sun sets.
5. Salaat-ul-Isha, which is performed one and a half or two hours after sunset.
HADITH: Our Prophet Muhammad SAW said: “The one who does not pray has no deen.”
The stature of salaat in Islam is like that of the head in one’s body i.e. just like a person cannot stay alive without the head, he cannot be a true Muslim without performing salaat.
HADITH: Our Prophet Muhammad said: “The loss of a person who misses one salaat is like that of the one who loses all his family and wealth.”
Just think how important is salaatl Never leave it!
