Book Name:Namaz Ki Ahmiyat

becomes an atonement for those sins. I.e. Allah Almighty forgives the sins committed between two Salahs. 

Sayyiduna Haaris رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ narrates that one day, we and Sayyiduna Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ were seated. In the meanwhile, the Muazzin (one who calls Azan) came. Sayyiduna Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ asked for water and performed Wudhu. Then, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said: ‘I saw the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم performing Wudhu in the similar manner. I also heard the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم saying: ‘The one who performs Wudhu the way I have performed and then offers the Zuhr Salah, Allah Almighty forgives his sins, i.e. the sins that were committed between Fajr and Zuhr. Then when he offers ‘Asr Salah, then Allah Almighty forgives his sins committed between Zuhr and ‘Asr. Then when he offers Maghrib Salah, then Allah Almighty forgives his sins committed between ‘Asr and Maghrib. Then when he offers Isha Salah, then Allah Almighty forgives his sins committed between Maghrib and Isha. Then it is possible that he spends the entire night lying down. Then when he gets up, performs Wudu and offers Fajr Salah, then the sins committed between ‘Isha and Fajr are forgiven. These are the virtuous deeds that remove the evils.’           (Al Ahadees-ul-Mukhtarah, vol. 1, pp. 450, Hadees 324)   

Salah contains cure

O devotees of Rasool! Those fortunate individuals who offer all 5 daily Salahs, Allah Almighty grants them cure from diseases by virtue of it. Nowadays, such new diseases are being diagnosed that were not even heard of in the past. Despite spending millions on their treatment, the diseases keep increasing. If we act upon the blessed sayings of Allah Almighty and the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and start offering Salah punctually, then اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ we can also attain cure from diseases. The Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: اِنَّ فِی الصَّلٰوۃِ شِفَاءً i.e. Indeed, there is cure in Salah. (Ibn-e-Majah, vol. 4, pp. 98, Hadees 3458) Therefore, no matter whether we are ill or healthy, we should not only offer Salah punctually ourselves, but also make our households used to offering Salah.
