So why would you لماذا ..!! WHY?? HAVE YOU ABANDONED IT ?? ألم تعلم بأنها أحب الأعمال وأعظم الطاعات وأفضل القربات إلى الله Didn’t you know that this is the most loved deed by Allah, and the greatest ibadah? فإن لم تحافظ على هذه الصلاة وتصلي كما أمرك ربك If you do not observe prayer as you are ordered to فسيأتي اليوم الذي يصلى عليك Then there will come a day when you will be prayed upon ولن تستطيع ذلك الوقت أن تقضي ما فاتك You will then be unable to make up what you’ve missed وستدخل هذه الحفرة ( وحدك ) ولن تجد فيها إلا ( عملك ) You shall then enter alone… No companions except your deeds And what you have presented forward صَـلُّوا قــَـبْلَ أنْ يُصَلَّى عـَلـَـيْكُمْ Pray before you are prayed upon Below is a picture of a pilgrim who died in Madina in the position of sujood (prostration) And another one (beneath it) of a pilgrim who died in Makka while raising his hands with prayer (du’aa) وإن كنت من ( المتكاسلين ) فستموت ميتة ( الخاسرين ) فلاتدع الصلاة تفوتك Do not miss a prayer Do not die a loser’s death والله تعالى يقول : (( إِنَّ الصَّلاَةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَابًا مَّوْقُوتًا )) . Allah swt says in the Quran that prayer is prescribed upon the believers according to a precise timely record so, صَـلُّوا قــَـبْلَ أنْ يُصَلَّى عـَلـَـيْكُمْ Pray before you are prayed upon Life is too short, we may not be alive until the next prayer so pray now and pray every prayer as if it is your last prayer as nobody has a guarantee that they will be alive until the next prayer. والذين هم على صلاتهم دائمون والذين هم على صلاتهم يحافظون اللهم اجعلنا من الذين هم في صلاتهم خاشعون Oh Allah, make us among those you described in your Book Those who have khushoo’ in their prayers Those who are continually observing their prayers and are heedful of them Ameen "And pilgrimage to the House is incumbent upon men for the sake of Allah,upon everyone who is able to undertake the journey to it"–[ 3:96 Quran]
