A person came in the blessed court of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and asked about the most superior action three times. All three times, the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم gave the same reply that: Salah is the most superior action. (Musnad Imam Ahmed, vol. 2, pp. 580, Hadees 6613)

صَـلُّوا عَلَى الْـحَـبِيْب                     صَـلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰى عَـلٰى مُـحَـمَّد

O devotees of Rasool! We shall also understand the importance of Salah and not only offer all 5 Salahs punctually .

صَـلُّوا عَلَى الْـحَـبِيْب                     صَـلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰى عَـلٰى مُـحَـمَّد

3 Sayings of Allah Almighty regarding Salah

Dear Islamic brothers! If someone doesn’t offer Salah even after knowing the importance of it, then such a person is an extremely foolish person and gathers the means for entering the Hell himself. Offering Salah is the source of gaining blessings in this world and the Hereafter. At various places in the Holy Quran, it not only commands us to offer Salah, but also persuades us to offer it by mentioning its reward. Let’s listen to three saying of Allah Almighty in this regard:

Allah Almighty says in part 6, Surah Nisa, Ayah No. 162:

وَ الْمُقِیْمِیْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَ الْمُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ سَنُؤْتِیْهِمْ اَجْرًا عَظِیْمًا۠(۱۶۲)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And those who keep Salah established, and give Zakat, and believe in Allah and the Last Day; to such (people), We shall soon give a great reward.

Allah Almighty says in part 9, Surah Anfaal, Ayah No. 3 and 4:
