Ayat Al Qur’an - Surah Al Isra (The Journey by Night) (4:130)
فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُمُ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ فَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ قِيَٰمًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِكُمْ فَإِذَا ٱطْمَأْنَنتُمْ فَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَٰبًا مَّوْقُوتًا
Perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) from mid-day till the darkness of the night (i.e. the Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, and 'Isha' prayers), and recite the Quran in the early dawn (i.e. the morning prayer). Verily, the recitation of the Quran in the early dawn is ever witnessed (attended by the angels in charge of mankind of the day and the night).
1 Hadith
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “The first action for which a servant of Allah will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection will be his prayers. If they are in order, he will have prospered and succeeded. If they are lacking, he will have failed and lost. If there is something defective in his obligatory prayers, then the Almighty Lord will say: See if My servant has any voluntary prayers that can complete what is insufficient in his obligatory prayers. The rest of his deeds will be judged the same way.”

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا يُحَاسَبُ بِهِ الْعَبْدُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ صَلَاتُهُ فَإِنْ صَلُحَتْ فَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ وَأَنْجَحَ وَإِنْ فَسَدَتْ فَقَدْ خَابَ وَخَسِرَ فَإِنْ انْتَقَصَ مِنْ فَرِيضَتِهِ شَيْءٌ قَالَ الرَّبُّ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ انْظُرُوا هَلْ لِعَبْدِي مِنْ تَطَوُّعٍ فَيُكَمَّلَ بِهَا مَا انْتَقَصَ مِنْ الْفَرِيضَةِ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ سَائِرُ عَمَلِهِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ

Reflection Point
When you reflect on your relationship with the prayer.
It may often feel like a constant battle between good and evil.
The honest truth of the matter...
Is that it is!
It's a battle to protect you throughout your life!
It's a battle to be consistent throughout your life!
It's a battle to protect your honour throughout your life!
While steering the ups and downs we go through in life.
But...
Just know..
It's a battle worth fighting for.
Why?
Because it will protect you..
On a day when the ultimate decision..
For your final abode will be decided.
Jannah or Jahannam.
So..
Just like you look at people in this life...
For the things they have been given..
From pomp and glitter!
Know that every single human being that existed in this life.
Will wish to be from the people who used to pray in submission.
To the creator, who created everything.
Allah.
الْكَبِيرُ (Al-Kabir) - The Greatest.
So ask yourself this question.
Am I from those who prayer my 5 Daily Prayers?
If yes.
Then just keep going..
And If not..
It's time to change your ways now..
So choose your hard!
Would you rather miss your prayers in this world.
For the purpose of what?
Completing your work deadline..
Extra sleep...
Being entertained...
Clinching that deal?
Your prayers should be first.
And everything else will follow insha Allah.
For your success in this world.
This week, we have prepared an infographic with the layout of all 5 prayers in Islam, with a brief description. Your task is to share the weekly infographic with as many Muslims & Non Muslims within your community as possible.
Perhaps it may be an encouragement to us all and others from family or friends to return back to their Lord..
To seek his bounty and blessings.
For verily he is..
الرَّحِيمُ (Ar-Rahim) - The All-Merciful
الْغَفَّارُ (Al-Ghaffar) - The Forgiving
Just remember..
When we go through hardships & trials in life.
There is nothing comparable..
To putting our hearts to rest through prayer..
Before we are laid to rest...
