    Connection to Migration of Madinah

    The Muslims at the time of the Prophet S.A.W. were being persecuted when they
    prayed/ practiced Islam. Even though they had worldly possession in Makkah the
    migrated to Madinah just to be able to practice their faith.
    But nowadays people make the smallest excuse to not offer prayer in the Masjid or not
    even pray at all. This just shows that our Iman has decreased by a lot, and we are
    missing out.
    The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The key to Paradise is
    prayer, and the key to prayer is ablution.”
    Source: Sunna al-Tirmidhī 4. Grade: Hassan (fair).
    We Muslims have prioritized worldly needs
    instead of Salah. The Sahaba would fight even
    during wars, where their livelihood was
    greatly at stake. Nowadays people miss Salah
    because they were tired etc. Nowadays I have
    seen a trend in people who think that Salah is
    Migration to a burden. Salah is not a burden it is a duty
    men owe to Allah as he is the only one who
    Madinah deserves worship and he is the one who
    provides the necessities for us to live. The
    Quran say,
    “Praise be to Allah the Cherisher and sustainer
    of the worlds”.
    Importance of Salah
    Salah is obligatory on every Muslim to pray five times a day on time. Importance of praying
    Salah on time can be understood by these hadith:
    "Abdullah asked the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) "Which deed is the dearest to Allah?" He
    replied, "To offer the prayers at their early stated fixed times." (Sahih al-Bukhari 527).
    Due to their busy schedules, many often forget to perform the Salah or do it too late.
    However, we should be conscious that we are required to do Salah, thus we should
    endeavor to do so when it is due. If we leave it too late for Salah, we not only commit the
    sin but also sink to the lowest levels of moral depravity. This verse of the Quran explains
    that Allah punishes individuals who do not offer Salah harshly. "They were succeeded by a
    people who neglected the Prayers and pursued their lusts. They shall presently meet with
    their doom..." (Quran 19:59)
    • Alhamdulillah, I play regularly but sometimes I miss
    the congregation, so I will try my best not to miss
    congregation prayer. I will use an app which notifies
    me when it is azan time thus giving me time to get
    ready and reminding me to pray Salah.
    Plan to • Khushoo. I think I am not fully attentive during
    Salah, so I will try clean thoughts and try my best to
    improve concentrate fully while prayer and think of what the
    Salah Imam is reciting. To do this I will avoid using social
    media because there is a lot of dirty content on it
    which affects the Imaan of a person.
    • I will also attempt to pray Salah slower as I
    sometimes pray fast so I will recite slowly and focus
    on what I say so I pray slowly.
    • I will also try to perform every sunnah act while prayer
    so I get maximum rewards so I will learn all the sunnah's
    and apply it during prayer. To do this I will read Sahih
    Muslim which will have hadith on prayer, I will learn the
    Sunnah way and implement it.

    Part II of • To go more to the Masjid, I will maybe buy an electric


    scooter this will lessen the burden on me and make it
    improving easier to commute to the Masjid. I will probably walk
    there as a Hadith says.
    Salah • “He who purifies (performs Wudu') himself in his
    house and then walks to one of the houses of Allah
    (mosque) for performing an obligatory Salat, one
    step of his will wipe out his sins and another step
    will elevate his rank (in Jannah).” [Muslim].
