Sheikh Saad Al Attas

Prayer

This is one the months where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would fast (Rajab)

This is the month of Miraj

Why did it take so long for the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) to meet Allah Subhanu wa Ta’ala? Because his heart was washed four times, he was purified internally and externally

This is a reminder to purify by wudu

And the salat was given in to him when he (peace and blessings be upon him) reached a state of purity

Prayer has a purpose

When the people die and they will resurrected, the prayer will be the first thing taken into account, if they are successful they will be successful in the rest

Salat is loyalty, it has to be based on truth

The greatest stealer is the one who steals in prayer

After your prayer, ask yourself has it had any effect on you?

There was a companion who was praying Tahajjud and an enemy say him and shot him several times with arrows, he didn’t feel it, he was in prayer.

The prayer of a person who prays in time and completes all the actions correctly, the prayer will be taken and it will say, “You have preserved me and Allah preserve you.” When a person prays out of the time and when the prayer is weak and incomplete the prayer goes up and says, “You have neglected me may Allah neglect you.”
