We are all very busy in our daily lives and often forget to pray or even if the thought crosses our mind we are too busy with our daily lives. The video below highlights this very message.
We came across a very interesting campaign ‘Just go do it‘ (by the Mercy Mission UK) which invites the non practicing Muslims to this important and compulsory pillar of Islam – The prayer.
Here is how their website puts it,
No fancy arguments, no lengthy lectures but if you are from amongst those who choose not to pray, then you are not in the state of Islam, as per the words of our Prophet, (Upon Whom Be Peace), who said: “Verily, between man and polytheism and disbelief is abandonment of the prayer.” (Sahih Al Muslim)
You’re probably thinking, what gives this website the right to tell me if I am in the fold of Islam or not. Right? Well, this is where we say, this is the view of Allah and His Messenger, not us, hence it’s their statements that we bring to you. We are sure you are a great person, we are sure you even have many noteworthy Islamic values, all we are saying is that Allah prescribes what he identifies as Islam, and he has established Islam upon the prayer, hence he said: “Guard strictly the (five obligatory) prayers…” (Al Quran 2:238)
So if you have abandoned the prayer, and yet want to be a Muslim, it’s time you started praying! No more, future resolutions. No more, I am still young. No more, when I am older. No more, I am not ready for it. No more excuses! Just Go Pray Before You are Prayed Upon – Let’s Just Go Do It
The following series of short videos deliver a very powerful message about the daily prayers,
