I Love Salah, Prayer
Why do we pray?
Allah ﷻ created us to worship Him. When we pray, we worship Him and show our love for Him ﷻ.
When we love Allah ﷻ, Allah loves us even more. He gives us happiness in this life, and Jannah in the life after.
Also, when we pray, we thank Allah for everything He has given us.
Allah has told us to pray because it is GOOD for us!
Once a young Sahabi (a friend of the Prophet ﷺ )named Rabi'ah bin Ka'b رضي الله عنه , asked to be with the Prophet in Jannah. Rabi'ah was 14 years old. The Prophet ﷺ asked him: "Is there anything else you want Rabi'ah?" Rabi'ah answered "No. All I want is to be with you in Jannah." The Prophet ﷺ said:
أعني على نفسك بكثرة السجود
"Then help yourself by making plenty of Salah" Narrated by Muslim
So Salah will even help us be with Rasoolullah ﷺ in Jannah!
Do you know what the key to Jannah is?
Prayer is the key to Paradise!!
Do you know what the five daily prayers are?
