In the Name of Allāh.

Ṣalāt (prayer) is so important that Allāh prescribed it in a direct conversation with His Prophet (ﷺ) above the Heavens, having no one in between. But, how do Muslims treat it today? Many have abandoned it like it’s not important. Allāh says (in Sūrah Maryam [19] verse 59): “Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have given up As-Ṣalāt (prayers) [i.e. made their Ṣalāt to be lost, either by not offering them or by not offering them perfectly or by not offering them in their proper fixed times, etc.] and have followed lusts. So they will be thrown in Hell.”

As opined by scholars (based on sound evidence), whoever misses a prayer intentionally with no valid excuse has left the fold of Islām. Ṣalāt is an act from which none is excused – not even the sick, traveler, nor those on the battlefield; unlike Sawm or Ḥajj. O, Muslims! Please, pay attention to Ṣalāh.

I beseech Allāh to make it easy for us to always observe it. (Aameen)
