 Establishing Salah Develops Taqwa (Fear and Awareness of Allah)

ذَ‌ٰلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لَا رَيْبَ ۛ فِيهِ ۛ هُدًى لِلْمُتَّقِينَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ

“This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guidance for 

those who have Taqwa; who believe in the unseen, and who 

establish Salah, and spend out of what we have provided for 

them”

 (Surah Baqarah 2: 2-3)

2.

 Salah Is the Sign of a Believer.

وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ ۚ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَيُطِيعُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمُ اللَّهُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

“The believers, men and women, are protecting friends of one 

another; they enjoin good and forbid evil, and they establish 

Salah, and give Zakah, and obey Allah and His Messenger. 

Allah will have His Mercy on them, and surely, Allah is All-

Mighty, All-Wise.” (Surah Tawba 9: 71)

3.

 Establishing Salah Leads to Allah’s Eternal Blessings.

فَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ وَالَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَائِرَ الْإِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ وَإِذَا مَا غَضِبُوا هُمْ يَغْفِرُونَ وَالَّذِينَ اسْتَجَابُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَمْرُهُمْ شُورَىٰ بَيْنَهُمْ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ

“So whatever you have been given is but (a passing) enjoyment 

for this worldly life, but that which is with Allah is better and 

more lasting for those who believe and put their trust in their 

Lord. And those who avoid the great sins and lewdness, and 

when they are angry, they forgive. And those who answer the 


Call of their Lord, and perform the Salah, and who conduct 

their affairs by mutual consultation, and who spend of what We 

have bestowed on them.” 

(Surah Ash-Shura 42:36-38)

Those Who Pray Shall Have Nothing to Fear on the Day of Judgment.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكَاةَ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

“Truly, those who believe and do righteous deeds, and perform 

Salah, and give Zakah, they will have their reward with their 

Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.”

 (Surah Baqarah 2:277)

5. 

Remain in Allah’s remembrance after prayer.

فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ فَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِكُمْ ۚ فَإِذَا اطْمَأْنَنْتُمْ فَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ ۚ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَابًا مَوْقُوتًا

“When have finished performing the Salah, remember Allah 

standing, sitting, and reclining, but when you are free from 

danger, perform the Salah. Surely, Salah is enjoined on the 

believers at fixed times.” 

(Surah Nisaa 4:103)

Command to Pray with Congregation.

وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَارْكَعُوا مَعَ الرَّاكِعِينَ

worship) along with those who bow down (in worship)”

حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَىٰ وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ

“Guard strictly the Salah, especially the middle Salah. And 

stand before Allah with obedience.” 

(Surah Baqarah 2:238)

 Allah’s Help Comes Through Salah.

وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ ۚ وَإِنَّهَا لَكَبِيرَةٌ إِلَّا عَلَى الْخَاشِعِينَ

“Seek help through patience and Salah; truly it is extremely 

difficult except for the humble true believers.” 

(Surah Baqarah 2:45)

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ

“Oh you who believe! Seek help through patience and Salah. 

Truly, Allah is with those who are patient.”

 (Surah Baqarah 2:153)

 Special Emphasis on Friday Prayer.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَذَرُوا الْبَيْعَ ۚ ذَ‌ٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ فَإِذَا قُضِيَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَانْتَشِرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَابْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

“Oh you who believe! When the call is made for the Salah on 

Friday, come to the remembrance of Allah, and leave off 

business. That is better for you, if you only knew! And when the

Salah has ended, you may disperse through the land, and seek 

the Bounty of Allah, and remember Allah much so that you 

may be successful.”

 (Surah Jumuah 62:09-10)

10.

 Shaytaan Tries His Best in Finding Ways to Take You Away from Salah

إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ يُوقِعَ بَيْنَكُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَالْبَغْضَاءَ فِي الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ وَيَصُدَّكُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَعَنِ الصَّلَاةِ ۖ فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُنْتَهُونَ

“Shaytaan desires only to excite enmity and hatred between 

youwith intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the 

remembrance of Allah, and from Salah. So will you then not 

abstain (from these evils)?”

 (Surah Maeda 5:91)

11.

 Prayer Protects Against Evils.

اتْلُ مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ ۖ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ ۗ وَلَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ

“Recite that which has been revealed to you of the Book, and 

perform Salah. Verily, Salah prevents from lewdness and evils. 

And indeed, the remembrance of Allah (by you) is greatest. 

And  Allah knows what you do.” 

(Surah Ankaboot 29:45)

12.

Friendship Should Be with Those Who Pray.

إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ

“Indeed, your protecting friend (Wali) is 

none other than 


Allah, 


His Messenger, 

and the Believers 

who establish Salah, 

and give Zakaat, 

and bow down (in prayer). 

(Surah Maeda 5: 55)

13.

 Allah’s Special Order to Women.

وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَأَقِمْنَ الصَّلَاةَ وَآتِينَ الزَّكَاةَ وَأَطِعْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۚ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا

“And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like 


that of the times of ignorance, and perform Salah, and give 

Zakah, and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah wishes only 

to 

remove uncleanness from you, Oh people of the House, and to 

purify you with a thorough purification.” 

(Surah Ahzaab 33:33)

14.

 Hypocrites Are Lazy in Salah.

إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ يُخَادِعُونَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ خَادِعُهُمْ وَإِذَا قَامُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ قَامُوا كُسَالَىٰ يُرَاءُونَ النَّاسَ وَلَا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

“Verily, the hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, but it is He who 

deceives them; When they stand up for Salah, they stand with 

laziness, only to be seen by men; and they do not remember 

Allah but a little.”

 (Surah Nisaa 4:142)

15.

 Laziness in Salah Leads to Rejection of Sadaqah.

وَمَا مَنَعَهُمْ أَنْ تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقَاتُهُمْ إِلَّا أَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِ وَلَا يَأْتُونَ الصَّلَاةَ إِلَّا وَهُمْ كُسَالَىٰ وَلَا يُنْفِقُونَ إِلَّا وَهُمْ كَارِهُونَ

“And nothing prevents their Sadaqah from being accepted 

from them, except that they disbelieve in Allah and in His 

Messenger, and that they do not come to Salah except in a lazy 


manner, and that they do not give Sadaqah except unwillingly.”

 (Surah Tawbah 9:54)

16.

 Leaving Salah Leads to Shirk.

مُنِيبِينَ إِلَيْهِ وَاتَّقُوهُ وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ

“(And remain always) turning to Him (only), and be fearful and

 dutiful towards Him, and perform Salah and be not of those 

who commit Shirk.”

 (Surah Room 30: 31)

17.

Previous Nations Were corrupted when Salah Was Left.

فَخَلَفَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ أَضَاعُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوَاتِ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّا

“Then, there came after them a generation who gave up Salah 

and followed lusts; so they will be thrown in Hell.”

 (Surah Maryam 19: 59).

And (it is) for the poor fugitives who have been driven out from their 

homes and their belongings, who seek bounty from Allah and help Allah 

and His messenger. They are the loyal.

Those who entered the city and the faith before them love those who flee 

unto them for refuge, and find in their breasts no need for that which 

hath 

been given them, but prefer (the fugitives) above themselves though 

poverty become their lot. 

And whoso is saved from his own avarice - such 

are they who are successful.

--The Glorious Quran; 59; The Exile, 8, 9.

Avarice : extreme greed for wealth or material gain.

Thou wilt not find folk who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those 

who oppose Allah and His messenger, even though they be their fathers 

or their sons or their brethren or their clan. As for such, HE (ALLAH) hath 

written faith upon their (believers) hearts and hath strengthened them 

with a Spirit from HIM (ALLAH), and HE (ALLAH) will bring them into 

Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide. Allah is 

well pleased with them, and they are well pleased with HIM (ALLAH). 

They are Allah's party. 


Lo! 

is it not Allah's party who are the successful 


?

When the event befalleth -

There is no denying that it will befall -

Abasing (some), exalting (others);

When the earth is shaken with a shock

And the hills are ground to powder

So that they become a scattered dust,

And ye will be three kinds:

(First) those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand ?

And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand ?

And the foremost in the race, the foremost in 

the race:

Those are they who will be brought nigh

In gardens of delight;

--The Glorious Quran; 56; That Which is Coming, 1-12.

Or do those who commit ill-deeds suppose that We (ALLAH) shall make 

them as those who believe and do good works, 

the same in life and death? 

Bad is their judgment!

But when the great disaster cometh,

The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour,

And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,

Then, as for him who rebelled

And chose the life of the world,

Lo! hell will be his home.

But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust,

Lo! the Garden will be his home.

– The Glorious Quran; 79; Those who drag forth, 34 to 41.

Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them 

to 

excel the other, and because they spend of their property


(for the support of women),

 So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret 

that which Allah hath guarded. 

As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, 

admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if 

they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, 

Exalted, Great.

And of mankind is he who payeth for mere pastime of discourse, that he

Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,

And wink one to another when they passed them;

And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;

And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.

Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.

This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,

On high couches, gazing.

Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do ?
