The Importance and Excellence of Salah
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Three sayings of Allah Almighty about salah
Dear Islamic brothers, despite knowing the importance of salah, if someone does not offer it, he is very unwise and makes himself deserving of Hell. Offering salah is a source of blessings in the world and Hereafter. Not only have we been commanded throughout the Quran to offer salah, but through mention of its reward, we are also encouraged to perform it. Let us listen to three sayings of Allah Almighty in this regard. In verse 162 of Sūrah al-Nisāˈ, Allah has stated:
وَ الۡمُقِیۡمِیۡنَ الصَّلٰوۃَ وَ الۡمُؤۡتُوۡنَ الزَّکٰوۃَ وَ الۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِاللہِ وَ الۡیَوۡمِ الۡاٰخِرِ ؕ اُولٰٓئِکَ سَنُؤۡتِیۡہِمۡ اَجۡرًا عَظِیۡمًا (۱۶۲)
Translation from Kanz al-Īmān: And those who keep salah established, and give zakah, and believe in Allah and the Last Day; to such (people), We shall soon give a great reward.[1]
In verses 3 and 4 of Sūrah al-Anfāl, Allah has stated:
الَّذِیۡنَ یُقِیۡمُوۡنَ الصَّلٰوۃَ وَ مِمَّا رَزَقۡنٰہُمۡ یُنۡفِقُوۡنَ ؕ(۳)اُولٰٓئِکَ ہُمُ الۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ حَقًّا ؕ لَہُمۡ دَرَجٰتٌ عِنۡدَ رَبِّہِمۡ وَ مَغۡفِرَۃٌ وَّ رِزۡقٌ کَرِیۡمٌ ۚ(۴)
Translation from Kanz al-Īmān: Those who keep salah established and spend some in Our path from what We have provided for them. Only these are true Muslims; for them are ranks with their Lord, and forgiveness and honourable sustenance.[2]
