Who Was Jesus (as)?

[umm Zachariah]

Hi ChristyNicole,


I think it is the first time I joined in discussion with you.


Some thoughts came up when you wrote about prayer.


I can understand that you pray and talk to Allah, SWT many people do that. And I don't think anybody is saying that you are not.


But let me tell you a little bit of the prayer in Islam. It is not a 'floating' issue. How the prayers came to be 5, is rather interesting, since the amount of them was decided when the Prophet of Islam, SAAWS did his famous night journey Israa and Mirajj up to Allah, SWT to the highest heaven, beyond the lote-tree and there Allah, SWT spoke directly to Muhammad, SAAWS. And here Allah, SWT made Salaah, prayer, compulsory five times a day for Muslims.


So Allah, SWT said, ''They are five prayer every day Muhammad, each being rewarded as ten, so that makes fifty times of prayer. He who intends to do a good deed and does not do it will have a good deed recorded for him, and if he does it, it will be recorded for him as ten; whereas, he who intends to do an evil deed and does not do it will have nothing recorded against him.''


So the prayer in Islam is so important that Allah, SWT chose to reveal it when He spoke directly to the Prophet, SAAWS above the heavens.


That is why we are also so eager to follow this command since it comes from the highest Authority.


And it is very helpful to have a routine when it comes to prayer. Then you don't forget them to let the worldly issue take over or have priority.
