PRAYER
“I
am God. There is no god but Me. So serve Me,
and perform regular prayers for my remembrance.”
(20:14).
Perform the prayers at sunset, at nightfall and at
dawn; the dawn prayer is witnessed. And pray for a
part of the night, an additional duty for you; it may
be that your Lord will raise you up to an
honourable station (17:78-79).
Be constant in praying at the beginning and the end
of the day, and in the night too. Good deeds make
amends for sins. That is a reminder for the mindful.
Therefore have patience; God will not deny the
righteous their reward (11:114-115).
Be ever mindful of prayers, including the middle
prayer. And stand obedient to God (2:238).
And when you have performed the prayer,
remember God, standing, sitting and lying down.
Then, when you are secure, perform the prayer, for
prayer is a duty incumbent on the faithful, to be
observed at appointed hours (4:103).
