Salah (Prayer) is one of the fundamental pillars of Islam. It was the first act of worship that was made obligatory by Allah u and it is the last thing to be taken away from the religion. When it perishes, Islam will perish.
Its obligation was revealed directly to the Prophet s, during his ascension to the heaven and it was made obligatory upon every sane, adult* Muslim. Salah is the first action that a believer will be questioned about, for the Messenger of Allah s said,
“The first act that the slave will be accountable for on the Day of Judgement will be prayer. If it is good, then the rest of his acts will be good. And if it is deficient, then the rest of his acts will be deficient”.
The importance of Salah is so great
that one is ordered to observe it in all occasions, whether one is healthy or sick, whether one prays standing, sitting or lying down, whether one is traveling or residing and whether one is safe or
in fear. Salah is our key to success in this world and in the hereafter. Allah u says in His Glorious Book;
“Successful indeed are the believers
who are humble in their prayers” and
in another verse “And who pay heed to their prayers. These are the heirs who will inherit Paradise. There will they abide ” (al-Mu’minun: 1-2, 9-11)
WHO MUST PRAY?
Prayer is obligatory upon every sane adult Muslim. A person is considered an adult upon reaching puberty. There are four signs of puberty (any one of these signs means the person has reached puberty)
