Presentation by Laiqa Hussain

Allah, the most high, tells us, in His Glorious Qur’an:

… that is Allah, your Master, so worship

Him; will ye not be

reminded?! [Yunus 10:3]

Those who establish

prayer and, from what

We have provisioned

the, dispense: those,

they are the genuine

believers, there are

degrees alongside their

Master and forgiveness

and a noble provision

[Al Anfal 8:3]

And seek help

through restraint

and the prayer;

indeed they are

huge, save for the

humbled. [Al Baqarah 2:45]

26 ayahs

are mentioned

in the Qur’an about Salaat (prayer)

Indeed I am Allah, there

is no god but I, so

worship Me and establish

the prayer to remember

Me. [Ta Ha 20:14]

Salaat: In the words of our Messenger and Imams,

all goodness be upon them

The prayer is like a river

flowing past the door

of one of you; he

washes in it every day,

so that thereby all

dirt is removed. The Messenger

When the human is at

prayer, indeed his body

and clothes and everything

about him glorifies (Allah). Imam Ali (as)

Indeed the angel of death

removes the devil from

one who safeguards the

prayer, and at that grievous

time has him recite that there

is no god but Allah, and that

Muhammad is the messenger

of Allah.

Imam Sadiq (as)

“If the person at prayer knew the mercy

that was enveloping him

he would never raise his

head from prostration” Imam Ali (as)

The prayer is the house

of sincerity. Imam Baqir (as)

The prayer seeks the

servants arrival at Allah‘s mercy

Imam Raza (as)

The first obligation that Allah

laid upon my nation is the

five prayers The Messenger (as)

When you meet Allah with

five obligatory prayers, you

will not be asked beyond

that Imam Sadiq (as)

He who wishes to worship

purifies himself for it;

and when the recommended

prayers obstruct the

obligatory, leave them

aside. Imam Hasan (as)

4

The recommended prayers

are only accepted after

the obligatory prayers are

accepted. Imam Baqir (as)

Be aware that the best

of the obligations, after the

recognition of Allah, the

Grand and Glorious,

are the five prayers Imam Raza (as)
