UPHOLDING THE PRAYER

Prayer Prevents Immorality & Evil
➖➖➖
Allah ﷻ says in the Qur'an:
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ
And those who strictly guard their Salah.
Meaning, they maintain its proper times, its pillars, its obligations and its recommended acts.
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ مُّكْرَمُونَ
They will be in Gardens, honoured.
[70:34-35]
If you want to be from among the people of Jannah Al Firdous, salah is necessary upon you.
If you want be among those who are praised by Allah ﷻ, Salah is necessary upon you.
Do you want to be honoured by Allah ﷻ, and in Jannah? Then Salah is necessary upon you.
_
And then if you want to leave Sins and disobedience, then upon you is Salah.
Allah ﷻ says
إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱلْمُنكَرِ
Indeed Salah prohibits from Immorality and Evil,
وَلَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ
And the remembrance of Allah is greater,
وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ
And Allah knows what you do.
[29:45]
Ibn Awn Al-Ansari رحمه الله said:
"When you are praying, you are doing good, it is keeping you away from immoral sins and evil wicked deeds and what you are doing is part of the remembrance of Allah which is greater."
_
Salah is the foundation of your religion!
Praying 5 times a day is the absolute must, without it you will never improve your relationship with Allah ﷻ, nor will anything you do implement in your life be of any benefit!
_
Without the Salah, all the other good deeds will be turned to dust!
_
Such a strong emphasis is upon Salah, that Imam Abu Hanifah رحمه الله would say the person who leaves it should be imprisoned.
_
Ibn Al Qayyim رحمه الله wrote that leaving Salah is worse than Murder!
_
So let us increase in our salah with Fardh as well as sunnah prayers.
_
But it all stems from Salah. So make the effort!
_
May Allah ﷻ make us among those who guard their Salah.
