Messengers and respect them, and lend Allah a good loan, I will surely wipe out your sins, and I will surely admit you to Gardens beneath which rivers flow’.

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! How great are the favours for Salah-offering people that at some places good news of Paradise and forgiveness are being given to them and at other places good news of rewards are being told to them. Great persuasion and importance of Salah have also been stated in blessed Ahadees. If we get busy preparing for Salah leaving our all worldly activities as the time of Salah begins and offer Salah with extreme presence of the heart/mind and humility of the body, so not only do we attain lots of goodness of this world, but we will also attain its Hereafter benefit as this Salah will become a source of our forgiveness and salvation on the Day of Judgement.

Salvation for the one who offered Salah with presence                       of heart and humility of body

The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has made five Salahs obligatory. The person who performs Wudu for them properly and offers them at their fixed times, and performs their Ruku’ and Sujood with presence of the heart, so it is at the mercy of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ that He عَزَّوَجَلَّ will forgive him; and the one who does not perform them, so Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has no reward for him; He my forgive him or torment him.

(Sunan Abu Dawood, vol. 1, pp. 186, Raqm 425)

Sins are wiped out by Salah

The fortunate Islamic brothers who offer five-time daily Salahs, all of their sins are wiped out, as the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: If any of you has a stream in his courtyard and he takes Ghusl (bath) daily five times in it, so will there be any dirt left on him? People humbly replied, ‘No’. The Blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then said: Salah washes away the sins as water washes away the dirt. (Sunan Ibn Majah, vol. 2, pp. 165, Hadees 1397)
