The Importance of Salah
Estimated time: 10 minutes
Salah is the second pillar of Islam and the most important act of worship after the Shahada.
Why Salah is Crucial:
- First thing we'll be questioned about on Judgment Day
- The distinguishing mark between a Muslim and non-Muslim
- A direct connection with Allah five times daily
- Prevents evil and indecency
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'The covenant between us and them is prayer; whoever abandons it has disbelieved.'
Salah was made obligatory during the Night Journey (Isra wal Miraj), showing its special status.
