The commandment for Salat/Prayer is basic one. Without it religion is
incomplete. After The Faith in Unseen, The Observance of Salat is of
highest importance. In fact in the first chapter of Holy Book, a
prayer is taught as: You alone do we worship.
----
One is required to be firm on the requisites of Salat.
----
Those who fear their Lord in secret are reminded to stay alert to
observe Salat and to try to keep their selves pure (35:19); One need
to be heedful of Hereafter and keep the self pure through observance
of Salat/prayer.
----
The concept of Fear of God: it is like the fear of losing a dear one
through making that dear one unhappy. Such a feeling for God would
encourage one’s love for Him. And one will be more careful not to
incur His displeasure and one will be drawn toward observance of
Salat. Otherwise, pledge of allegiance, the bai’at, on its own is not
a source of salvation.
----
The holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and all pures) said
that among the deeds of people the first accountability will be Salat.
God will ask His angels to see if His servant accomplished the Salat
or left it incomplete. If the person has made any optional (nafl)
worship it will be used to make up any deficiency in the obligatory
(fardh) worship.
----
Caliphate-century of blessed Promised Messiah ( w.mta.tv ) reminds one
to be mindful of the key principle of belief i.e. is Salat. Caliphate
is only promised to those who have belief (along with good deeds).
This holy institution is a blessing which brings together its
Community in a manner of a string of pearls and people rise and sit at
the gesture of a hand. Hence they must be mindful to something which
generates discipline and will be of great avail in the Hereafter. That
something is surely Salat.
----
True believers are regular in saying their Salat. Worldly matters are
not an obstruction in observance of Salat.
----
High morals is a sign of true worshipper. But there are some people
who are regular in saying Salat but their society, they live in, is
not safe from them. Obviously such people are not mindful of their
Salat/ Prayers. They just show off. Those who seek to deceive God, God
causes them to deceive themselves. One must observe Salat with the
intention to seek the pleasure of God.
----
To be included in the promised Latter-ones who are to be likened the
Ealier-ones is a tremendous blessing. It comes with huge
responsibility never to let observance of Salat/Prayers slip, never to
be deficient in fulfilling the rights of God and rights of His
people.
----
Salat is offered with utmost sincerity for God and the first step to
seek the true objective of existence of human. Physical steps in Salat
corresponds to soul in praise, presenting humble requests and
prostrating to God. May it is experienced.
