DEVOTION TO SALAAT
Salaat
is the most important of all forms of worship. It is, in fact, the first and
foremost item to be reckoned with on the Day of Judgement. The Prophet
(Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) is reported to have said:
"Salaat
is the only line of demarcation between Kufr and Islam."
There
are many Ahadith about Salaat, which I have col-lected in a separate book.
Blessings of Nan (non-obligatory) Prayers:
The
Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) reported that Allah told him: "My
wrath descends upon a person who bears towards My friends. And only those are
blessed with My love who implicitly carry out Fardh (obligatory) in-junctions.
A person keeps on advancing in my esteem through 'Nail'; till I choose him as
'My beloved'. I then become his ear by which he listens, his eye by which he
looks, his hands by which he holds, and his feet by which he walks (i.e. his
listening, looking, holding and walking are all in perfect accord with My
injunctions, and he would never even dream of employing any part of his body in
any action contrary to My commands). If such a person prays for anything, I
grant it to him and if he seeks My protection I do protect him." Those
people are really blessed who, after performing their Fardh, are in the habit
of observing Nafl profusely. May Allah give me and all my friends the strength
to earn this blessing.
