Salah & the importance of its time 2

If a person prays Salah at the end of the time slot, Allah would only forgive them for praying the Salah in its time period, however they will miss out on Allah’s (swt) blessings and mercy. If a person delays their prayer, it is only because the shaytan is tricking them, or that they are following their nafs, unless they have an acceptable reason for the delay. We must not forget that the duty of shaytan and nafs is to prevent Muslims from praying to Allah (swt) and to make us fall for this Dunya.

In a Hadith our Prophet (saw) says

“It is the job the shaytan to delay your duties to Allah”, in another Hadith, our Prophet (saw) says “Those who delay will perish”

Salah is an ibadah, between Allah (swt) and the servant, for the servant to show to his Creator how much he is in need of Allah (swt), and hence, this is only possible via a sincere, obedient prayer to be prayed on time with wiseness and piousness.

Praying Salah in the very beginning of its time slot, will enable one to gain the blessings of Allah (swt), this is because a Muslim rushes to pray on time without any delay. This shows the servant’s piousness and his seriousness towards his obedience to Allah (swt), and shows the understanding that the very important part of his life is to pray.

A Muslim in search for the forgiveness, mercy and blessings of Allah (swt) must do his daily prayers, fast in Ramadan and must give zakat on time. What we do now in this world, is what we will rely on tomorrow, so we as Muslims, must be wise and pious in whatever we do and we must do it for the sake of Allah (swt) only.
