Allah( swt ) is Greatest

1. this Presentation is made to remind us all about importance of Salat there is a need to realize that offering Salat is not optional this is a command of Allah(swt) that must be rightly obeyed some brothers and sisters around us do not care to offer Salat if we love and care about them then we must tell them that offering Salat is a must there is no exception not even if we can’t stand or sit we must offer Salat even if lying on bed Allah(swt) is Greatest

2. إِنَّنِي أَنَا اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاعْبُدْنِي وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ لِذِكْرِي 20:14 Verily! I am Allâh!, none has the right to be worshipped but I, so worship ME, and perform As­Salât for MY remembrance [Al-Quran Chapter 20:Verse 14] see in the above verse when Allah(swt) talked to Prophet Mussa(pbuh) the command to offer Salat was given immediately in the first talk Read Quran and you would know that offering Salat was commanded to every messenger to Noah(pbuh) to Ibrahim(pbuh) to Mussa(pbuh) to Marium(pbuh) to Essa(pbuh) and to Muhammad(pbuh) to people of every prophet and to us all Allah(swt) is Greatest

3. حَافِظُواْ عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ والصَّلاَةِ الْوُسْطَى وَقُومُواْ لِلّهِ قَانِتِينَ 2:238فَإنْ خِفْتُمْ فَرِجَالاً أَوْ رُكْبَانًا فَإِذَا أَمِنتُمْ فَاذْكُرُواْ اللّهَ كَمَا عَلَّمَكُم مَّا لَمْ تَكُونُواْ تَعْلَمُونَ 2:239 guard strictly your (habit of) prayers, especially the Middle Prayer; and stand beforeAllah(swt) in a state of obedience [238] and if you fear (an enemy), perform Salât (pray) on foot or riding. and when you are in safety, offer the Salât (prayer) in the manner HE has taught you, which you knew not (before)[239] [Al-Quran Chapter 2:Verses 238-239] I bear witness that there is no god except Allah(swt). see in the above verses it is commanded that we must be very careful about offering Salat and if there is a situation of fear thenwe must offer Salat even if walking or riding

4. فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُمُ الصَّلاَةَ فَاذْكُرُواْ اللّهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَى جُنُوبِكُمْ فَإِذَا اطْمَأْنَنتُمْ فَأَقِيمُواْ الصَّلاَةَ إِنَّ الصَّلاَةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَابًا مَّوْقُوتًا 4:103 when you have finished As-Salât (the prayer - congregational), remember Allâh(swt) while standing, sitting down, and lying down on your sides, and when you are free from danger, perform As-Salât , verily, the prayer is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours [Al-Quran Chapter 4:Verse 103] I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah(swt) see in the above verse it is said that we must offer every Salat in its right times we must give priority to offer Salat and then do other tasks

5. وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى وَأَخِيهِ أَن تَبَوَّءَا لِقَوْمِكُمَا بِمِصْرَ بُيُوتًا وَاجْعَلُواْ بُيُوتَكُمْ قِبْلَةً وَأَقِيمُواْ الصَّلاَةَ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ 10:87 and [thus] WE inspire Moses and his brother: “set aside for your people some houses in the city, and [tell them], `turn your houses into places of worship, and be constant in prayer!‘ and give the glad tiding to all believers [Al-Quran Chapter 10:Verse 87] Come to the prayer offering Salat is a must no matter whatever the situation may be see in the above verse when Prophet Mussa(pbuh) and His people were oppressed by Firaun and were in a state of fear they were commanded to set Masjids (places for salat) in selective houses and in doing that they were given good news of success

6. مُّحَمَّدٌ رَّسُولُ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ أَشِدَّاء عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ رُحَمَاء بَيْنَهُمْ تَرَاهُمْ رُكَّعًا سُجَّدًا يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلًا مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَانًا سِيمَاهُمْ فِي وُجُوهِهِم مِّنْ أَثَرِ السُّجُودِ ذَلِكَ مَثَلُهُمْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَمَثَلُهُمْ فِي الْإِنجِيلِ كَزَرْعٍ أَخْرَجَ شَطْأَهُ فَآزَرَهُ فَاسْتَغْلَظَ فَاسْتَوَى عَلَى سُوقِهِ يُعْجِبُ الزُّرَّاعَ لِيَغِيظَ بِهِمُ الْكُفَّارَ وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ مِنْهُم مَّغْفِرَةً وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًا 48:29 Muhammad (pbuh) is the Messenger of Allâh(swt), and those who are with Him are harsh on disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. you see them bowing and falling down prostrate , seeking bounty from Allâh(swt) and HIS pleasure. the mark of their faith is on their foreheads from the traces of (their) prostration. this is their description in the Taurât and in the Injeel, they are like a seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, it then becomes thick, and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers that He may enrage the disbelievers with them. Allâh(swt) has promised those among them who believe and do righteous good deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward 48:29 Come to Success see this verse, companions of all Prophets had marks of Sajood on their foreheads, followers of earlier Prophets have forgotten Salat and marks from their foreheads are vanishedlets not forget Salat like them

7. وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولًا نَّبِيًّا 19:54وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ أَهْلَهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ وَكَانَ عِندَ رَبِّهِ مَرْضِيًّا 19:55 and mention in the Book (the story of) Isma'il: He was (strictly) true to what he promised, and He was an apostle (and) a prophet.19:54 He used to command his people for Prayer and Charity, and He was most acceptable in the sight of His Lord.19:55 Allah(swt) is Greatest see this, the name of Ismail(pbuh) is especially mentioned as He used to order His familyto offer Salat and Allah(swt) liked Him for doing that lets follow the same lets motivate our family and friends to offer Salat Allah(swt) will like us as well Insha Allah

8. سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ 74:26وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سَقَرُ 74:27لَا تُبْقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ74:28لَوَّاحَةٌ لِّلْبَشَرِ 74:29عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ74:30 soon I will cast him into SAKAR (26) and what will make you know what SAKAR is (27) it does not allow to live, and neither leaves [to die] (28) it burns the skins (29) over it are nineteen guardians (30) see these verses of Chapter 74 tells that there is a horrible place up there that is called SAKAR and in the later part of the same Chapter it is told that those who would ignore to offer Salat will be put in the SAKAR There is no one Worthy of Worship except Allah(swt) مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِي سَقَرَ 74:42قَالُوا لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّينَ 74:43 What has caused you to SAKAR?(42) They will say: "We were not of those who used to offer Salât (43)
