Commentary
HADITH SEVENTEEN
recurrent ones, is what
The worship that Allah has obligated, especially He loves and rewards for the most. What we often forget about these obligations is the great impact they have on our hearts and their purifi- cation effect. When these acts are done as Allah commanded and with complete devotion, they are unparalleled in their reward and tazkiyah. And this is why Allah made them recurrent obligations, so they can aid
us on our journey to Allah.
Habit vs. conscious worship-
There is a diversity of acts of worship in Islam. This diversity serves many purposes. For one, it responds to our own diversity, where we excel, and what we are capable of doing. Thus, Allah gives us the op- portunity to be more dedicated in specific worship-for instance some fast more than others, spend more than others, or learn more than oth- ers-in accordance with our skills and proclivities. The diversity also responds to our different needs, where each worship is there to edify us and purify us in different ways: one with money, one with body, one with both, one is solitary, one is social, and so on. The diversity also helps stave off boredom, where we can move between different acts while still worshiping Allah. For instance, we can read the Quran and then move to help someone with a problem and then head to the mosque to pray; though we are moving between different acts, we are still engaged in the worship of Allah. Finally, this diversity allows us to graduate in our practice, to do more when we are spiritually strong and less, without compromising the basics, when we are weak. It outlines the (1) basics that we need to take care of daily, weekly, and annually; (2) communal and individual responsibilities; and (3) the varying lev- els and priorities of obligatory acts. This diversity in worship is from the mercy of Allah and should be thanked and appreciated.
Yet in the midst of the sea of good things and deeds we can do, the Habit vs. conscious worship
Muslim can get lost deciding what to do, when, and which should come first. When this happens, it is important to keep the next hadith in mind. The Prophet told us that Allah loves what He obligated on us the most. He said that Allah said:
«وما تقرب إليَّ عبدي بشيء أحبَّ إليَّ ممَّا افترضتُ عليه
صحيح البخاري (٦٥٠٢).
And my slave will not draw nearer to me than with what I have obligated on him.>>
Reported by al-Bukhari (6502).
The obligations are what Allah loves the most, and they consequent- ly possess the greatest benefits for this life and the next. In the Muslim's mind, they should always take precedence and be taken care of first. They, on their own, can take us to Paradise. As reported in al-Bukhari (46), a man came to the Messenger and inquired about the obliga- tory acts of praying, fasting, and Zakah. When he stated that he will closely follow them but not add anything to them, the Prophet pro- claimed that he will be successful if he is true to his word. Though no one can deny the importance of voluntary acts, nothing can replace the foundational worship that Allah had made a must on all Muslims. Obligatory worship has the greatest potential for soul-edification and purification. Because of their spiritual potency, Allah the Most Wise made these acts recurring so that they can continue to guide and support us in our spiritual fights. Allah, for instance, says about Salah:
وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَوَة إِنَّ الصَّلَوَةَ تَنْهَى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنكَرِ وَلَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ
And establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. Al-Ankabut (Q29:45)
