If it is found to be perfect, he will be safe and successful; but if it is incomplete, he will be unfortunate and a loser. If any shortcoming is found in the obligatory Salah, the Glorious and Exalted Lord will command to see whether His slave has offered any voluntary Prayer so that the obligatory Prayer may be made up by it. Then the rest of his actions will be treated in the same manner.&#8221; (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.the-faith.com\/featured\/at-tirmidhi-imam-of-hadith-and-fiqh\/\">At- Tirmidhi<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The hadith alarms us about the seriousness of prayer from among other acts of worship such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.the-faith.com\/category\/acts-of-worship-2\/the-fasting\/\">fasting<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.the-faith.com\/category\/acts-of-worship-2\/the-zakat\/\" target=\"_blank\">Zakah <\/a>(obligatory charity), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.the-faith.com\/category\/acts-of-worship-2\/the-hajj\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hajj<\/a> (pilgrimage), etc. which may seem more costing or harder. Salah\u00a0stands as a direct link and relationship between God and His slaves in which the praying person relieves himself of the filths of sins, the defects of the soul, the vices of manners and the hardships of life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Salah\u00a0consists of special actions and deeds that involve submission, humbleness, imploration, supplication, love, and cordiality with God. During Salah, the worshipper humbles himself before Allah to be elevated in the heavens and earth because the submissiveness to Allah is undoubtedly a means of honor and superiority. Prayer washes out ones sins, cleanses ones heart and elevates one\u2019s esteem. Those who are keen to perform it as prescribed and at its due times are among the most guided ones who have perfect faith in Allah and the Last Day. God says,<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;padding-right: 30px;text-align: justify\"><strong>The mosques of Allah are only to be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and establish prayer and give zakah and do not fear except Allah , for it is expected that those will be of the [rightly] guided.<\/strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.learning-quran.com\/quran-translations\/en-translation\/recitation-surat-at-tawbah\/\" target=\"_blank\">At-Tawbah<\/a> 9:18)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Regarding the importance and secrets of Salah\u00a0as well as the rulings regarding the correct performance of prayer, Sheikh <a href=\"http:\/\/www.islamevents.com\/speakers\/speaker_detail.php?spid=33\" target=\"_blank\">Abdur Raheem McCarthy<\/a> gives this very interesting lecture.
