The word ‘Islam’ which is derived from Arabic, means to accept, to follow and to obey. The religion of Islam is the acceptance of and obedience to the teachings of God which He reveals it to His last prophet, Muhammad PBUH. In other words, Islam is following God, the Master. God is our Creator and Master. Our success in life relies fully on following the Master. Therefore, we must all obey His commands, either in words or in deeds. But God has let us be free to obey or not to obey Him. Life is like a test. The successful test taker is one who obeys God. In other words, the real success in this life and the life after death is obeying God. True peace also lies only in the following God. The word Islam also means peace. Islam is peace through obedience to God, the Creator and the Master. Islam is a religion from God which leads His followers to gain true peace. Muslims believe in one, unique, incomparable God, Who has no son nor partner, and that none has the right to be worshipped but Him alone. He is the true God, and every other deity is false. He has the most magnificent names and sublime perfect attributes. No one shares His divinity, nor His attributes. In the Qur’an, God describes Himself: Say! “He is God, the One. God to Whom the creatures turn for their needs. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none like Him”(Qur’an,112:1-4) There are two sources of the religion of Islam. These sources are the Quran and the Sunnah. The Qur’an is God’s words which were revealed to the prophet Muhammad, and the Sunnah is the prophet’s tradition and saying. The Qur’an is a guidance from God for all human-beings. Therefore, God’s words which were written in the Qur’an/ should be read by all human beings. God wants all human beings to be happy in the world and in the life hereafter by giving the guidance and rules written in the Qur’an. Therefore, all people who want to be happy and safe in their life should know what is said by God in the Qur’an. That happiness lies in their obedience to the guidance of God.

Of all the possibilities of worship prescribed for us by Allah, the most important one is prayer or as-shalah. Allah says in the Holy Qur’an “Oh believers, seek help in patience and Shalah” (Al-Baqarah 2:153) As-Shalah is usually translated into English as the word “prayer”. This is a poor translation, because the Shalah, while referring in part to the act of prayer or ‘du’a’, is more accurately translated as the complete act if worship that includes prayer. Whereas prayer (du’a) can be offered at anytime and in any situation. Allah has ordered us to observe this act of devotion and prayer called as-Shalah at specific times of day and night while facing in the precise direction of Baital”tiq in Makkah. If we look up all of the verses concerning the Shalah and read what Allah says, we will find that Allah has prescribed five times for our Shalah. Concerning this, our prophet Muhammad PBUH (Peace Be Upon Him) asked his friend (sohabat), “Do you believe that dirt can remain on a person who bathes five times a day in a brook running in front of his door?” “No”, replied the friend (sohabat), “no dirt can remain on his body.” Rosullullah PBUH then said, This is exactly the effect of the Shalah offered five times a day. Moreover with the Grace of Allah it washes away all the sins.” The times of the shalah are in the morning before the rising of the sun, at noon just after the sun has passed its highest point, in the afternoon when the sun begins to incline, in the evening just after the sun has set, and at night when the sky has become dark and the stars shine forth. The performance of the Shalah is a double act of obedience. In implementing our shalah, we obey both Allah and Rasulullah. We really obey Rosulullah and follow what he did, for we know that it was Allah Who taught him how and what to do in order to implement the Shalah. He taught him this during the time of his Night Journey (Al-Isra’) when he ascended (al Mi’raj0 to the highest heaven. He was by the Tree of the outermost Limit ( Sidrat al-muntaha) near the place of the Garden of Ultimate Refugee (Jannatu al-Ma’wa) a place where even the Angel Jibril was unable to go. As-Shalah is an absolutely binding (wajib) commandement of Allah requiring all sane adult Muslims. When we miss the Shalah we commit a grave sin, which must be repented for and then ‘made up’. Even so, we should understand that we are only making up what has been missed in time, but not the actual deed of the Shalah, which is gone forever. Answer the following questions. 1. What is the difference between ‘prayer’ and ‘as-shalah’? 2. Please mention and explain the verse of al-Baqarah 153! 3. 4. Where is our direction when we perform as-Shalah? 5. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? 6. When did our prophet Muhammad PBUH receive the command of as-Shalah? 7. When do we implement the five times of as-Shalah? 8. What does ‘him’ refer to ? (at the fourth paragraph) 9. How do we perform as-Shalah? 10. What does the fourth paragraph discuss? 11. What happen to those who miss as-Shalah? Give or state your own answer! 12. Please explain and act out the steps and actions of as-Shalah. 13. Describe and act out the steps of Wudu’. 14. Give five benefits that come from offering as-Shalah in congregation. 15. Why should we perform as-Shala? 16. Mention and explain one of other verses of al-Qur’an dealing with as-Shalah.
