stated in a blessed Hadees: ‘اَوَّلُ مَا یُحَاسَبُ بِہِ الْعَبْدُ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَۃِ صَلَاتُہ’ i.e., the first question on the Day of Judgement will be about Salah.

Sayyiduna ‘Allamah ‘Abdur Ra`oof Manaawi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated regarding this blessed Hadees, undoubtedly Salah is a symbol of Iman (faith) and it is the main act of worship. (At-Tayseer Sharh Jami-us-Sagheer, vol. 1, pp. 391)

Dear Islamic brothers! Salah is a very great act of worship. The act of Salah leads its worshippers to Jannah; Salah is the best act of worship of a Mu`min (believer), Salah is Noor (luminosity); Jannah becomes Wajib for those who offer 2 Rak’aat Salah with Khushu’ and Khudu’ (fear and humility); two Rak’aat Salah is better than the world; Salah is the most favourite of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ; in return of each Sajdah of Salah, one virtue is recorded, one sin is wiped away and one rank is raised. A Salah-offering person will be made to enter Jannah with peace on the Day of Judgement. Salah wipes away sins and the filth of sins, one Salah wipes away the sins committed in the span between the present and last Salah; a Salah-offering person passes his night in peace and tranquillity; Salah wipes away evils. May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ enable us to offer five-time Salah daily in the first row of the Masjid with the first Takbeer and may we be enabled to offer Nafl Salah as well!

Dear Islamic brothers! We have just exposed some sins and we have heard about their harmful effects, which were propagated by the accursed Yazeed. Remember! A sin is harmful whether it is minor or major. It is so harmful and destructive that one can understand this from the following narration:

Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen Sayyiduna ‘Umar Bin Khattab رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has stated that do not misunderstand the saying of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ:

مَنۡ  جَآءَ   بِالۡحَسَنَۃِ   فَلَہٗ   عَشۡرُ   اَمۡثَا لِہَا  ۚ
 وَ  مَنۡ   جَآءَ   بِا لسَّیِّئَۃِ   فَلَا   یُجۡزٰۤی   اِلَّا مِثۡلَہَا   وَ ہُمۡ   لَا   یُظۡلَمُوۡنَ   ﴿۱۶۰﴾
