Even though as Muslims, we tend to forget the significance and benefits of Salah (prayer) in our lives and let it be overshadowed by our pressing everyday tasks. As we all know that Shaytaan (Satan) tends to whisper in the ears of believers and leads them to view Salah as a ‘chore’ and consequently, gets them to look towards worldly things to attain contentment and comfort. The moment one starts to leave praying on time and leave about Salah completely is the same moment to accept the defeat and hand over the victory to Shaytaan. Therefore, no amount of emphasis laid on Salah can do justice to the purity and sanctity of the act itself.
Salah holds the key to each and every ailment that plagues mankind, be it social, spiritual or psychological. Being conscious of Allah (SWT) is the true aim of Salah and it empowers the believer and makes him resilient with a bright face and whiteness. Salah is Allah’s (SWT) most favorite form of worship, so do it to build a nice deed. It creates a direct bond between the Lord and His slave. Offering the five daily prayers every day is an act of loving Allah (SWT) not on your own terms but on His.
This is the 6 ways to avoid skipping your 5 times daily prayers, make sure to use them deliberately and wisely, then later you will feel by the helpful changes.
1. Know the importance of Salah in Islam religion
The believer must understand that Salah was is essential in Islam, as Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said “, the only difference between us and the atheists (unbelievers) is Salah and whoever left Salah is considered as an atheist (unbeliever). Ensure for yourself to offer your Saleh before you die, as life is short and Allah created us for worshiping him.
2 .put in several reminders the prayer times, not the other way around
We tend to get lost for our daily prayer in this world, and if we stand for asking ourselves one question, for what do we created in this earth? And why are we preferring our worldly affairs against Salah’s performance? So we have to think wisely and intelligently that our worldly affairs such as business, shopping meeting, socializing and other worldly practices are not going to matter and help us hereafter as Salah will help us more and more so prefer your Salah against any daily distraction as much as you can.
3 remind yourself, 5 minutes of preforming your Salah is not hurt!
If you know you need to offer your Salah and you feel lazy, so remind yourself that it is only going to take 5 to 15 minutes (maximum) which is nothing once you come to think of it.
We tend to spend hours and hours on nonessential activities, such as social media, TV surfing, etc. But 5 minutes for performing Salah we feel it difficult which it is not, for that such reason make sure to protect yourself by offering daily your 5 times prayer on the time and Allah will make for you everything easy.
4. Make (dua) and ask Allah (SWT), solicit him to make the prayer much easier to you
As Allah is loving the believer who is making Dua, so make dua and Allah will give you whatever you asked him and more. In addition to that making dua during Salah’s performance will be much beneficial for you as Salah considered a daily link between the believer and his God (Allah).
