Ibadat 41

Afterwards we perform Salatul Vitr. At the last Rakat of this
Salat we pray like this "O Allah! We only worship you, we
perform Salat only for you, and we only bow our head to you.
All our endeavours, hardships are for your satisfaction only.


Salat reinforeces the foundation of good deeds of Muslims. It
refreshes their Iman (belief). The upliftment of soul and the
correction of our actions depend on Salat.


Merits (Fazilat) of Salat:


One day the great Prophet (sm) said to his Sahabies
(companions): Suppose, there is a river in front of some body's
house from you. He, who baths five times a day in that river, is
it possible to have any filth in his body? Sahabies said, no, there
cannot be any dirt. Then the Prophet (sm) said, similarly, if any
servant of Allah performs his prayer five times a day, he can not
have any vice. The great Prophet (sm) said:


Salat is the most important of all the Ibadats. It is (Farz)
compulsory for all the Muslims to perform Salat. Salat can not
be given up under any circumstances; Salat has to be performed
very attentively. It is not proper to look to and fro after starting
Salat.


The Great Prophet (sm) sought the help from Allah through
Salat if he faced any trouble. Allah used to remove away his
troubles and dangers. We shall also seek help to Allah through
Salat. Allah will remove away our danger and difficulties.


Meaning: Salat is the key to heaven.
