sonsbroos ni vloeroo bas viluomo bin? a'ono gnimmohoq as (2) origo ad to soitong bomino od div erily, all praise is due to Allah, we praise Him and we seek His aid and we ask His forgiveness, we seek shelter from the evil of ourselves and from the wickedness of our deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides, there is none that can misguide him and whomsoever Allah sends astray, there is none who can guide him. And I testify that none is worthy of worship except Allah Alone, without partners and I testify that Muhammad () is His at Muhammad slave and His Messenger.
Certainly, Salâh (regular prayer) is the first and most important matter after testimony, the second pillar and it is the difference between faith and disbelief. The Messenger of Allah () said: «Between a person and disbelief is discarding Salâh.»>
Salâh is our connection to our Lord and our success in the Hereafter depends upon our performance of it in this world. If we accept this, we must then strive to perform our Salâh in the way which is accepted by Allah (), i.e. as the Prophet () himself used to perform them. He () said: «Pray as you have seen me performing Salâh.»>2
Imam Ahmad, doubtless and mindful of the Words of Allah:
