Best Tribute To The Prophet Is To Follow His Teachings & Lifestyle.

 Eid-e-Milad

Best Tribute To The Prophet

Is To Follow His Teachings

And Lifestyle


Don’t Compete With Christmas

Which Is A Pagan Tradition!

Islam is obedience/surrender

To The Will Of God!

(M. Javed Naseem)

 


قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱللَّهَ فَٱتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ ٱللَّهُ

وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

“Say (O Muhammad): "If you do love Allah,

follow me! Allah will love you and forgive your

sins, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

(al-Quran 3:31)

The best way to pay homage to the Prophet (s.a.w.) is to follow his teachings and his simple lifestyle. He commanded us to stay true and honest to the Quran.

The Quran is the principal source of all guidance for Muslims. But for those who always find something to dispute and disagree, Prophet Muhammad’s (s.a.w.) entire life has been recorded by many historians, both Muslim and non-Muslim, and that should serve as a role-model because he lived by the Book. He never did anything that could displease the Lord Almighty. He was His true servant in all respects and his conduct was exemplary for all believers. Even Allah said in the Quran that he was the best role-model for mankind.

لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِى رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن

كَانَ يَرْجُو ٱللَّهَ وَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلآخِرَ وَذَكَرَ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيراً

“You have indeed in the Messenger of Allah

a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one

whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and

who engages much in the praise of Allah.”

(al-Quran 33:21)

It’s very unfortunate that we are deviating from the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet (s.a.w.). We are not true representatives of Islam. We are copying non-Muslim and pagan traditions and falsely claiming them to be Muslim traditions. Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) had already predicted about it.

Eid-e-Milad (Prophet’s birthday) has become a replica of Christmas and the irony is that Christmas was not even part of Christianity. It was a pagan tradition duly Christianized 300-400 years after the death of Jesus, the son of Mary. We cannot disobey the Prophet (s.a.w.) and claim to love him at the same time. This is hypocrisy (Munafiqat). 

 

Here's the summary of the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) that he emphasized during his last sermon (Khutbah) of Hajj. He said:

*******************************************

Remember, one day you will appear before Allah

and answer your deeds! So beware, do not stray

from the path of righteousness after I am gone!”

-- Prophet Muhammad

*******************************************

”O People! It is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under Allah's trust and with His permission! If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.”

**************************************

Return the goods entrusted to you to their

rightful owners! Hurt no one so that no one

may hurt you! Remember that you will

indeed meet your Lord, and that He will

indeed reckon your deeds.”

-- Prophet Muhammad

**************************************

”Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things.”

”Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves.”

 


”O People! No Prophet or a Messenger will come after me and no new faith will be revealed. Reason well, therefore, O People, and understand words which I convey to you! I leave behind me two things, the Quran and my example (the Sunnah), and if you follow these, you will never go astray!”

And here’s what Allah commands you:

وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّـلواَةَ وَآتُواْ ٱلزَّكَواةَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
“So establish regular prayer and give regular

charity; and obey the Messenger, that

you may receive mercy.”

(al-Quran 24:56)

POWER IS RESPONSIBILITY To Deliver Peace & Justice!

 

To The Power Seekers:

Power Is Responsibility

To Deliver Peace And

Justice!

(M. Javed Naseem)

 


“Whoso desires power, (should know

that) all power belongs to Allah.”

(al-Quran 35:10)

Man is greedy for power, money and fame. Any one of these three elements can turn his head and he can become an arrogant person. The Almighty Allah does not like arrogance. When you become powerful, by grace of God, don’t let the power go through your head. It might prove more harmful than beneficial. Money and power (authority) can solve most of the problems the mankind is facing today. But at the same time, if these two are not rightly controlled or directed through proper channels, they themselves can create havoc in the world.

It is difficult to separate money from authority. Money is power and so is the authority. All power is evil (fitna) if it is not used for the benefit and welfare of mankind. In this age, it is the power that is creating all kinds of social, economic and political problems for mankind. Humans are known for the abuse of power. They cannot handle it. Power should be used to enforce justice, and eradicate inequality and injustice. But in this world what we see today is that power is being used to control others; to get the maximum material benefits; and escape from justice. This is corruption. Power should be taken from the hands of the corrupt and given to the honest and God-fearing. That will make the world an ideal place.

“And walk not in the earth exultant!

Lo! You cannot rend the earth, nor can

you stretch to the height of the hills.

The evil of all that is hateful in the

sight of thy Lord.”

(al-Quran 17:37-38)

Power is a Godly quality and only God can use it justly. Human beings, when given power, often try to play God and end up doing injustice to the fellow humans. They cannot resist the temptation, therefore, the corruption prevails. Power is responsibility and it should be used for the service to humanity. A ruler/governor who enjoys power, is actually given responsibility to serve his people. A ruler is a servant of Allah and he should serve His people; take care of them, solve their problems and promote peace and justice in the society. But the modern day ruler, on the contrary, considers himself as “king” of the people and takes people as his servants. He likes it very much when people gather in rows for his reception, bow in front of him and kiss his hand.

**********************************

Dishonest and corrupt politicians with

feudal background exploit the system

and enjoy luxury life at public expense!

They should be screened and barred

from contesting elections.

**********************************

Now, take a minute and think about it. Sometimes, a bad ruler has ignorant cronies around him who are even worse than him. They cross all limits to please the ruler and benefit from their position. Many a time the ruler is not aware of what they do.

On the Day of Judgment, all rulers would be asked questions about their people. A ruler must be a humble and God-fearing servant of people, and not an arrogant tyrant. He is responsible for social justice, equality, peace and prosperity of his nation. He is not allowed to take people’s money or property. He is answerable to God for the sufferings of his people (due to injustice), during his tenure.

“Lo, Allah commands you that you restore

deposits to their owners, and if you judge

between mankind, that you judge justly.”

(al-Quran 4:58)

The problem with us, Muslims, is that we don’t fear Allah. We don’t think that we are going to die sooner or later. We don’t think about the Day of Judgment and answering questions in front of Allah. We have become hypocrites (Munafiq) as we say one thing and we do something else. We lie to others every day and we don’t consider it a sin or something immoral. It is accepted as normal behavior in the society. We read the Holy Quran and still we don’t get the message! We read about other nations and generations that were destroyed because of their sins and evil-doing but we don’t learn any lesson from the Quran, nor from the history of the nations. We know that it happened to other nations but we think it is not going to happen to us. Why not? Allah says:

“How many a township have We destroyed

while it was sinful, so that it lies (to this day)

in ruins, and (how many) a deserted well and

lofty tower! Have they not traveled in the land,

so that they may have hearts wherewith to feel,

and ears wherewith to hear? For indeed it is

not the eyes that grow blind, but it is the hearts,

which are within the bosoms, that grow blind.”

(al-Quran 22:45-46)

The funny thing in most of the Muslim countries is that everybody who works for the government would like to play the “boss” but nobody takes any responsibility. We want power but no responsibility? That's the sign of corrupt power seekers.



As Muslims or believers in the Day of Judgment, there should not be any doubt in our minds about the accountability process. Allah the Almighty has reminded us of that in many verses of the Quran. On the Day of Judgment, we'll be standing in the court of Allah to answer questions. And the justice shall be delivered. It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Umar that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) said:

"Beware! Every one of you is a shepherd and every one

is answerable with regard to his flock. The Caliph (ruler)

is a shepherd over the people and shall be questioned about

his subjects (as to how he conducted their affairs). A man is

a guardian over the members of his family and shall be

questioned about them (as to how he looked after their

physical and moral well-being). A woman is a guardian

over the household of her husband and his children and

shall be questioned about them (as to how she managed

the household and brought up the children). A slave is a

guardian over the property of his master and shall be

questioned about it (as to how he safeguarded his trust).

Beware! Every one of you is a guardian and every one

of you shall be questioned with regard to his trust.”

WHAT IS ISLAM? Submission To The Will Of Allah!

 

What Is Islam?

Submission To The

Will Of Allah!

Islam Is Righteousness!

You Show Islam By Conduct,

Your Character, Your Dealings

And Treatment Of Others)!

(M. Javed Naseem)

 


“This day have I perfected your religion for you,

completed My favor upon you, and have chosen

for you Islam as your Deen (religion).”

(al-Quran 5:3)

On the Day of Arafah, during the last Hajj sermon of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.), Allah revealed to him the above-mentioned verse; and announced the completion of the Deen of Islam. Any changes, alteration, addition, deletion or modification made after that day, is not Islam. Simple as that!

So, what is Islam? Simply put: Islam is the total (unconditional) surrender or submission to the Will of God.

Following the commands of Allah is Islam, and the best example of that is the last Prophet (Muhammad, s.a.w.) who showed us how to do that. Prophet Muhammad was the best example of pursuing the Deen of Islam and living by the Quran. And he was the most successful man in the entire universe who influenced the whole world with his conduct and character single-handedly.That's real Islamic character!

“And you (O Muhammad) are on an

exalted standard of character.”

(al-Quran 68:4)

Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) obeyed the commands of the Lord Almighty and the Lord tells us to do the same thing by following and obeying the Prophet (s.a.w.) because he has been designated as a role-model for Muslims.

“O Prophet (Muhammad)! Truly We have sent

you as a Witness, a Bearer of Good Tidings, and

a Warner; and as one who invites to Allah's (grace)

by His leave, and as a Lamp spreading Light.”

(al-Quran 33:45-46)

God declared him as the “best role model” for the mankind in every respect. Allah placed him on such a high pedestal that we are unable to have a critical and analyzing look at him. We are simply unable to judge him on any standard as he himself created all standards. He stands taller than the tallest as he was inspired by the Divine. Allah tells the believers of the world:

“You have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a

beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose

hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who

engages much in the Praise of Allah”.

(al-Quran 33:21)

He was the greatest torch-bearer of the Truth and righteousness, therefore, the Falsehood found him as pain in the neck, a danger to its existence. He was the greatest champion of Good, therefore, the Evil went all-out against him for its survival. He was the beacon of Light (knowledge and education) hence the Darkness of ignorance (Jahalat) always feared annihilation.

His companions and immediate followers were sincere and devout. They went through hell to stand by him. The torture and persecution they faced, was without any parallel. The forces of falsehood, evil and ignorance joined hands but the Faith of the believers did not shake. And thanks to the sacrifices of those early believers that we are Muslims today. They did not let the flame of Faith die. We can’t thank them enough nor can we truly appreciate them. They had the character that Islam wanted to develop among humanity.

****************************************

Among leaders who have made the greatest

impact through the ages, I would consider

Muhammed before Jesus Christ.”

-- James Gavin

(From “Speeches by a U.S. Army General”)

****************************************

The Prophet’s conduct and character were exemplary. If we Muslims claim to be his followers then obviously we should demonstrate the same conduct and character. Allah commands us in the Quran to follow the Prophet (s.a.w.) as he is a designated role-model for the mankind. His life is the perfect example of how to live “by the Book” as per commands of our Creator, the Almighty God.

“Say: Obey Allah and His Messenger!"

But if they turn back, Allah loves not

those who reject Faith.”

(al-Quran 3:22)

Islam is not a part-time religion (a weekly or bi-weekly affair) as the West portrays it. It is NOT a religion, though religion (rituals) is a small part of it. Islam is a ‘DEEN’ and ‘Deen’ means ‘a way of life’, a system of life. Everything we do – talk, walk, eat, drink, sleep, dress, work, trade or deal with others, buy or sell, teach or learn, choose our representatives, form a government, enforce fair-play and justice system – all is done according to the teachings of Islam of which the Quran is the prime source. How can you call all that merely ‘religion’?

Islam covers every aspect of our daily life in the fields of trade, social justice, legal or judicial system, education, finance, politics and government, upbringing of children, marriage & divorce, inheritance, right of the neighbors or the community, citizens’ responsibilities, human rights, etc. Nothing escapes! And that’s why the unbelievers want to separate the ‘state’ from ‘religion’. They don’t want a humane Islamic way of life, therefore, they label Islam as ‘religion’. This way they can keep it out of their practical lives as they do with Christianity as religion. They come up with irrational, illogical and sometimes absurd slogans to trap younger generation’s minds.

“Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior,

conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a

cult without images, the founder of twenty terrestrial

empires and of one spiritual empire, that is Muhammad!

As regards all the standards by which human greatness

may be measured, we may well ask:

Is there any man greater than he?”

-- Alphonse de Lamartine

(From “History of Turkey”)

Everything which is being done today in the name of Islam by Taliban, Daesh, ISIS/IS, etc., does not fit in the framework of a Muslim. Those are the planted mercenaries of the Zionists following a specific agenda. They don’t represent Islam nor Muslims. They are being used to create Fitnah (evil), chaos and disunity among Muslims. The character and conduct of the real Muslims has always been appreciated in the history.

 

Remember the history? When the Jews were persecuted by the Christian Europe, they fled to Muslim countries and were welcomed. They flourished there. Every honest Jew knows that.

If you practice Islam, then show it to the world! Show it with your character in everyday life. Islam is peace, caring and sharing love, standing up for the down-trodden, establishing justice and eradicating evil.

HISTORY'S BIGGEST LIE: 9/11. People Are Still Waiting For The Truth.

 Remembering 9/11, History’s Biggest Lie

22 Years On,

People Are Still Waiting

For The Truth & Justice!


(M. Javed Naseem)



When it is said to them: 'Make not mischief

on the earth,' they say: 'Why, we only want to

make peace!' Of a surety, they are the ones

who make mischief, but they realise (it) not.”

(al-Quran 2:11-12)


******************************************

PSYOP and strategic deception:

9/11: No plane ever hit the WTC”

Retd. Expert Pilot John Lear

Watch his interview clip at:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQBlv7sZGVE

******************************************

September 11 reminds us of the 9/11 events, the destruction of the World Trade Center buildings, in 2001. The Free Press of the world believes that 9/11 was the biggest lie ever. It was the bloodiest deception; the outrageous rape of humanity; the mockery of Justice; and a horrifying fraud, committed by the forces of evil that are striving for the total hegemony and economic control of the world. It was used as a pretext to invade other countries; as an excuse to kill millions of innocent civilians; and as an effective tool to stage a crusade against Islam and Muslims. As a result, Islamophobia is on the rise in the West and it is being promoted by the Presstitutes of the biased and corrupt mainstream media for money.

It has been 22 years since that bloody drama was staged. Millions of victims (including families of those killed directly) are still waiting for the justice but who will deliver the justice?

The justice has been delayed and then denied, one way or the other. There was no honest and independent investigations – only the cover-up. When the killer becomes the judge, you cannot expect justice to be delivered. They spent millions of dollars on the campaign and they recovered trillions of dollars from the insurance and the corrupt govt. (taxpayers' money). It was the biggest scam of the history. Until today, they could not account for the mission $2.3 trillions from the Pentagon budget. So, they got away with it!

The Quran says:

But those who break the Covenant of Allah,

after having plighted their word thereto, and

cut asunder those things which Allah has

commanded to be joined, and work mischief

in the land, on them is the curse;

for them is the terrible home!”

(al-Quran 13:25)

The Bible says:

His mischief will return upon his own head, and his violence will descend upon his own pate.” – (Psalm 7:16)

Scott Bennett was a U.S. Army Psychological Operations Officer who worked at U.S. Central Command’s Joint Inter-agency Operations Center. Bennett was assigned to “Terrorist Threat Financing” and tasked with discovering terrorist financing networks (domestic and foreign), instruments, and bank accounts being used to fund Islamic terrorists. He is the author of Shell Game: A Whistleblowing Report (CreateSpace, 2016). His website is: www.shellgamewhistleblower.com.


In 2019, he wrote an open letter to Donald Trump, the then U.S. President, hoping for a quick and favorable action to deliver justice to the 9/11 victims. Here’s the text:

Dear President Trump,

As a military officer and also contractor for Booz Allen Hamilton, I was assigned to the Joint Interagency Operations Center at U.S. Central Command, where I identified, tracked, and reported on terrorists, their financial donors, networks, banks, and activities.

Part of my mission was to investigate, discover, and expose all acts of “waste, fraud, and abuse” by Terrorist Financing Operations Director Dov Zakheim who was my senior supervisor. It was known that Dov Zakheim had secretly arranged for $2.3 trillion dollars to be misappropriated through Pentagon channels when he had been the Pentagon Comptroller.

I was assigned the task of penetrating Dov Zakheim’s terrorist financing operations, which involved his son Roger Zakheim (a lawyer at the House Armed Services Committee), an Iraqi named Abdullah Azziz (with close ties to Rudy Guilliani) and the law firm Covington and Burling.

The auditors investigating this matter were conveniently killed in a missile strike upon the Pentagon Office of Naval Intelligence on September 11, 2001. This missile strike was concealed as a “plane attack”, which was a deception operation.

I briefed your attorney Michael Cohen about these matters in 2015 and 2016—which may be one of the reasons he has been targeted by Deep State Shadow Government loyalists.

Evidence and expert testimony confirm without a doubt that the attacks on September 11, 2001 against the Pentagon (as well as the World Trade Center and the Solomon Building in N.Y.) were a well-planned, well-financed, psychological operation – a false flag attack on American soil – designed to trigger and manipulate the American people, the Congress, and the U.S. Military into a full-scale war-mobilization posture with the intent of overthrowing, scattering, and re-making the Middle East and Africa for the direct political, cultural, and economic benefit of the Zionist state of Israel.

*****************************************

Bush lied about the WMD in Iraq!”

Donald Trump

During the Presidential election campaign,

Donald Trump declared that Bush & Co. lied

about WMD in Iraq; and we should have never

been in Iraq. Therefore, the entire bloody

drama of Iraqi invasion and subsequent events

(killing millions of people in the Middle East)

was based on lies. Watch this video clip:

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4ThZcqloJQ)

******************************************

9/11, although seemingly coherent has led to a multi-trillion dollar nightmare for Americans. Because of your success in attacking the Deep State with your sealed indictments and other measures, and because of the failure of the DNI-CIA-FBI-DOJ “Russian Hoax” as well as great fear that your forthcoming summit with President Vladimir Putin will be a great success, I fear for your life and pray for your safety.

You are our Chief Law Enforcement Officer, not just our Commander-in-Chief. It is my hope that this memorandum, combined with the other memoranda you are receiving from other informed patriots, will be helpful to you during the Helsinki summit, where I and many others hope that you and President Putin will share intelligence on 9/11 – who did it, how they did it, why they did it – face to face.

I believe that your leadership in placing the truth about 9/11 before the public will finish the job of taking down the Deep State and the Shadow Government – it will help you shut down the pernicious Zionist/Saudi penetration and subversion of the US economy, government, and society and it will help you demonstrate to the larger public, most of whom did not vote for you, that under your leadership, the US Government can be trusted to clean house and tell the truth.

Very respectfully,
Scott Bennett

The Bible says:

You felt secure in your wickedness and said:

'No one sees me.' Your wisdom and your knowledge,

they have deluded you; for you have said in your

heart, 'I am, and there is no one besides me.' But evil

will come on you which you will not know how to

charm away. And disaster will fall on you for which

you cannot atone. And destruction about which

you do not know, will come on you suddenly.”

(Isaiah 47:10-11)

The Quran says:

Those who reject Allah and hinder (men) from

the Path of Allah, for them will We add penalty to

penalty; for that they used to spread mischief.”

(al-Quran 16:88)

Let's us hope that truth will come out and justice will be delivered. I personally believe that the truth is out there on the internet. As far justice is concerned, don't count on it. There are some big sharks (Presidents, Prime Ministers, local Ministers, and other countries) involved and nobody has the courage to bring the culprits to task. They love to bargain and benefit.

PRAYING IS LIKE WHISPERING TO GOD. Prayer Connects You To Your Creator.

 

Prayer Connects You

To Your Creator!


Praying Is Like

Whispering To God

(M. Javed Naseem)

 


Most people on this earth claim to be believers but how many of them truly believe in the dominion of One and Only God and worship Him? People love the world and its pump & show more than they love Allah the Almighty who created this universe. They claim something but they practice something else. And that is hypocrisy.

Addressing the selfish priests and scribes – the hypocrites and the corrupt preachers – Prophet Jesus, the son of Mary, said:

Hypocrites! You do this to fill your purse, and therefore you tithe rue and mint.”

Talking about idolatry, Jesus said:

O miserable ones! For to others you show the most clear way, by which you will not go. You scribes and doctors lay upon the shoulders of others weights of unbearable weight, but you yourselves the while are not willing to move them with one of your fingers. Truly I say to you, that every evil has entered into the world under the pretext of the elders …. And how much does God lament this by the prophet Isaiah, saying: 'Truly this people worships me in vain, for they have annulled my Law given to them by my servant Moses, and follow the traditions of their elders.” – (From the Gospel of Barnabas).

********************************

And it is certain that without faith it is

impossible for any one to please God.”

--- (Jesus Christ)

********************************

When you claim to believe in One God and his sovereignty, you try to live by His commands and laws. Obedience to Him becomes the top priority of your life. The best way to please God is to remember Him through prayers.

Prayer is an integral part of the ‘Deen’ (way of life) and is the most personalized way to show Allah the gratitude and appreciation for all the favors and blessings He has bestowed upon us in this world. Prayer serves as a wall of protection for us. Allah says that prayer restrains from evil and sin.

Recite what is sent of the Book by

inspiration to you, and establish regular

prayer; for prayer restrains from shameful

and unjust deeds; and remembrance of Allah

is the greatest (thing in life) without doubt.

And Allah knows the (deeds) that you do.”

(al-Quran 29:45)

Allah, Who has created us, tells us that the greatest (or the best) thing in this worldly life is to remember Him. And the key to remembrance of Allah is the prayer or supplication. We must glorify Him as much as possible because He is the Creator of heavens and earth, and everything between them. He wants us to be consistent and steadfast in our prayers. This is an obligation that cannot be ignored:


And establish regular prayers at the two ends

of the day and at the approaches of the night.

For those things, that are good remove those

that are evil. Be that the word of remembrance

to those who remember (their Lord).”

(al-Quran 11:114)

Those who remember Allah with their prayers, they’ll have no worries. They are connected to the Divine. When you try to become a humble servant of Allah, He knows that and protects you from evil and disaster. He promises those servants that there ‘shall be neither fear nor grief’ on them.

Those who believe, and do deeds of

righteousness, and establish regular prayers

and regular charity, will have their reward

with their Lord; on them shall be no fear,

nor shall they grieve.”

(al-Quran 2:277)

When you fear Allah, you are relieved from all other fears. You don't fear any tyrant, any dictator, any corrupt authority or influential person. You are on the right path and you meet other people who are following the same path. Those like-minded people become your friends and you enjoy the circle of righteous believers. That helps in creating a just society. Allah is the best friend of the true believers. The true friends of believers are the believers who fear Allah, stay away from evil-doing, establish prayer and help others.

Your (real) friends are (no less than) Allah,

His Messenger, and the (fellowship of) believers –

those who establish regular prayers and regular

charity, and they bow down humbly (in worship).”

(al-Quran 5:55)

Prayer is one of the big pillars on which your entire structure of Faith stands. You talk to your Merciful Creator through prayer. When you pray, you whisper to God! That's the most direct contact you can establish with Allah. The Almighty tells us to guard the habit of prayers.

Guard strictly your (habit of) prayers,

especially the middle prayer; and stand

before Allah in a devout (frame of mind).”

(al-Quran 2:238)

Prayer has been prescribed for us by Allah, as it was prescribed for other nations of believers that followed other Prophets and Messengers of God before our time. In the following verse, the Almighty confirms that prayer and charity (Salat and Zakat) were ordained for the Children of Israel (the nations of Moses and Jesus) as obligatory:

Allah did aforetime take a covenant from

the Children of Israel; and We appointed twelve

captains among them. And Allah said: “I am with

you, if you (but) establish regular prayers; practice

regular charity; believe in my Messengers, honor

and assist them, and loan to Allah a beautiful loan.”

(al-Quran 5:12)

We can get closer to Allah through prayers and charity. Therefore, the prayer is very important for all those who believe in One God (Allah), His prophets, His Books or Scriptures and in the Day of Judgment. 


Jesus On Prayers:

Prophet Jesus, the son of Mary, told his disciples how to pray to God. Here is an excerpt from the Bible (the Gospel of Barnabas), Chapters 36-37:

Then Jesus said: 'Truly I say to you, that he who makes not prayer, is more wicked than Satan, and shall suffer greater torments.'”

Even as of such spoke the prophet David: 'The fool has said in his heart, there is no God. Therefore are they corrupt and become abominable, without one of them doing good.

Make prayer unceasingly, O my disciples, in order that you may receive! For he who seeks finds; and he who knocks to Him it is opened: and he who asks receives. And in your prayer do not look to much speaking, for God looks on the heart; as he said through Solomon: “O my servant, give me your heart.” (From the Gospel of Barnabas).
