One of the many reasons why Muslim nations are left behind by the progress of time is that they fail to live up to their pledge in Islam. It is also the reason why Muslims generally are facing many woes and difficulties.
They abandon the obligatory prayers. They care little for religious knowledge and what is required of a Muslim. They forget what Allah has provided for them.
The daily prayers are essential for Muslims as through performing such “ Ibadah “ one is fulfilling his or her obligation to the creator, the one who created us. One who ‘ sends down rain from the sky and leads through springs in the earth ‘ resulting in various kinds of produce that feed the humans and animals.
In the Quran Allah states in Surah Ibrahim
“ It is Allah who hath created the heavens and earth and sendeth down rain from the skies, and with it bringeth out fruits where with to feed you….”
But alas many of us are ignorant of this verse. In luxury, a human being tends to forget and eventually abandons God who has been providing all the necessities for him. Humans also have turned their worship to other worldly fad. They behave that everything they have achieved is the fruit of their own hard labour and the bounties that they enjoy are not from God.
We must always remember that Allah dominates and has the power over everything, as he is the cherisher and sustainer of the worlds. He is the lord of heaven and earth and the master of the hereafter.
Thus all humans must surrender to him alone and none other through worship. And in performing the daily prayers all Muslims submit and surrender to him, as this act is the manifestation of Muslims testimony of his faith and truth that “ I testify there is none Allah worthy of worship except Allah, for whom there is no partner. And I testify that Mohammad is His slave and messenger.
It is through this worship or daily prayers that a direct link between human and Allah is established and without performing this important link , One is clearly without the five pillars of Islam that support his or her faith.
May Allah forgives us and lights up the straight for us to Him passage.
