PRAYER:
THE ASCENSION FOR A BELIEVER
by Dr. Suhaib Hasan
---------------------
After
the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) was commissioned
for Prophethood, the first thing he was commanded to do
by Allah was to pray. The angel Jibreel (AS) came to him
and a spring of water gushed out of the rocks in front of
them. Jibreel (AS) then showed Allah’s Messenger how to
make ablution. He then showed him how to offer prayers to
Allah. He began to pray two Rak'ah twice a day, once in
the morning and once in the evening. He then went home and
showed his wife Khadijah RA what he had learnt from the
angel Jibreel AS.
From
that time, the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) never
went through a day without praying. Just before his migration
to Madinah, he was taken on a night journey to Jerusalem
and then to the heavens (Mi'raj). During this journey, Allah,
Almighty, ordered him to pray five times a day. This prayer
was a gift given to every Believer to enable him to experience
a spiritual ascension five times a day. The Prophet (salAllahu
alayhi wasalam) said: "The prayer is the Mi'raj of
the Believer." It gives every Muslim the chance to
communicate with his Lord."
During
each prayer, the Muslim recites Surah Al-Fatihah: This recitation
is not a dull monologue by the Believer, but Allah promises
that it is a conversation between Him and the worshipper.
The Messenger of Allah reported that Allah, the Almighty
says: ‘When my slave says in his prayer: "All praise
is for Allah, the Lord of the worlds," I say: "My
slave has praised Me" When he says: "The Merciful,
the Compassionate, Master of the Day of Judgement,"
I say: "My slave has glorified Me." When he says:
"You Alone we worship and your Aid we seek," I
say: "This is between Me and My slave." When he
says: "Show us the Straight Path," I say: "This
is for My slave, and I give My slave what he wants."
[Hadith Qudsi]
The
number of prayers in a day have been set at five by Allah
almighty. The believer has no choice in the matter but to
obey. To reduce the number of prayers would not only be
disobedience, it would also lose the benefits of prayer.
For
example, a room is only good fro residence if it has four
walls and a roof. If only one wall or the roof were to be
removed, what use could it be? Similarly, the prayer will
only achieve its purpose and be of use on the Day when nothing
except one's deeds will be of use, if it is observed in
the prescribed manner.

An
Honest Man's life...
--------------------
There's
this Jack who was working for a multi-millionaire as a house
guard. One day, while the millionaire was driving out to
catch an early morning flight to conclude a business deal,
Jack ran out from the guard house and stopped the millionaire's
car just right in front of the gate.
He said 'Sir...Sir.. are you going to board a plane?'
'Yes,
why do you ask?' asked the millionaire.
'You had better cancel the trip. You see, last night I dreamt
about the plane going to crash.'
Curious
over the early morning fright that Jack had given, the multimillionaire
decided to cancel his trip. 'You better be damn right for
this is a million dollar deal..'
The
following day, there were news reports that the plane which
the millionaire was supposed to take had indeed crash landed.
'Thank God, I cancelled the trip,.' the rich man said realising
that what Jack had said had come true, he called for him.
When the guard came that morning, the millionaire gave him
his salary and FIRED him.
WHY?
ANSWER:
Jack was supposed to guard! the house at night. NOT to Sleep
and Dream all night!
