Quotes About Salah (Formal Prayer)

« Older posts

“Oh external worshiper, know that worship without heart is motions. Oh seeker of knowledge, know that knowledge without purification is a dangerous weapon of the ego. Oh activist, know that work without orientation of heart is fruitless. Oh lover, know that love without God is pain.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Your vehicle to God is your prayer mat. The only safe spot on this ruined earth is the prayer mat.

Dr. Mustafa Mahmud

“A disputing group of Muslims asked him [the Imam Hasan al-Banna] about the taraweeh prayer (the voluntary prayer done on the nights of Ramadan), whether it is composed of 20 units, like it is common in Meccca and Medina and other places, and which is recommended by the Four Schools of Jurisprudence, or of 8 units, like some Salafi evangelists insist? The people of the village who asked this question were on the verge of fighting on this issue.

The Sheikh's ruling was that the taraweeh prayer is a voluntary act, while the unity of the Muslim community is obligatory, so how can an obligatory act be ignored for the sake of a voluntary act? [He advised that] it is better and more pious if they pray alone in their homes instead of disputing and fighting over the topic.

Yusuf al-Qaradhawi

“The first thing that Shaytan (Satan) will try to do is get you to stop praying. You know why? Because he has to kill the guard if he wants to penetrate the castle. Once the guard is gone, then Shaytan (Satan) can open the floodgates for evil. And he has a lot of patience. He has done this to many people before so he’s experienced as well.

Nouman Ali Khan

“We live in a society where we wake up our kids for school but not Fajr.

Nouman Ali Khan

“The dua made at tahajjud (voluntary night prayer) is like an arrow which does not miss its target.

Imam ash-Shafi`i

“These rakaat (units of prayer) can save the future of one's children! For Abdullah ibn Masud used to pray during the night while his little son was sleeping, and he would look at him and say: "For your sake, my son!" And he would cry and recite His words, exalted and high: "And their father was a righteous man..." (Quran 18:82)

Muhammad al-Ghazali

“Whoever continuously abandons the sunnah (voluntary) prayers, then this shows a weakness in his religion.

Ibn Taymiyyah

“Where your mind goes during prayer is where your heart is. Take it back to your Lord.

Abdulbary Yahya

“The Prophet (salAllaahu ‘alayhi wa salaam) used to pray Fajr prayer early while it was still very dark (outside), and the believing women would attend the congregation. After the prayer the women would disperse in the dark and they could not be seen nor did they recognize one another.

Aisha bint Abu Bakr (Wife of Prophet Muhammad)

“It isn't a coincidence that prayer was commanded right after the year of sadness. The prayer was the greatest comfort.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Our five daily prayers are a way to curb over-attachment to anything material. The five prayers regulate our lives with their specific timings to teach us that indeed God is greater than anything else that we might be occupied in at that moment. The dawn prayer teaches us that the most beloved thing to us, comfort and sleep, should not control us – so we rise up in the cold morning, wash ourselves and pray in an acknowledgement that God is greater than our love of comfort and sleep. The midday and afternoon prayer teaches us that no matter how engrossed we are with work or the short lunch hour that we so highly value, it’s not the purpose of our existence. So we leave it for a few minutes and stand and pray testifying that God is indeed greater. On Friday, we dedicate most, if not all of our lunch hour to attend the Friday sermon and prayer. The dusk prayer, that time when we’re finally home and about to spend time with our family, eat dinner or simply relax – we get up and pray together to confirm that God is Greater than any of that. Finally the night prayer, Isha’ – when we’re tired after a long day of work and responsibilities ready to fall into bed and sleep, we pray again proving that submitting to God is greater than falling into the warm bed. All these serve as constant reminders to us that as much as we love life, we live for a higher purpose.

Mansoor Ahmed

“Everything you say or allow into your eyes or ears becomes data that is stored in your heart. That data is later replayed during your prayer. If you want to know what is filling your heart, look at what you think about in your prayer. If you want to guard your heart, guard your eyes, ears, and tongue.

Yasmin Mogahed

“If one of you leads salah (formal prayer), then let him make it easy on them (by making it quick), for there are among them those who are ill, weak, or old. And if one of you prays alone, then let him make it as lengthy as he wishes.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

“The most important of your affairs in my view is prayer; whoever prays regularly has protected his faith, but whoever neglects it, is bound to more negligent in other issues of faith.

Umar ibn al-Khattab

“Wash your heart every morning with salat, then warm it up with dhikr. Approach life with hope and faith. Every day do your best, Allah will do the rest.

Wael Abdelgawad

“Allah, Glorified and Exalted, made the prayer a connective case to His closeness, dialogue [with Him], His love, and intimacy with Him.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“How can you trust one who doesn't pray. If he abandons his Maker, what makes you think he won’t abandon you?

Mufti Ismail Menk

“A busy life makes prayer harder, but prayer makes a busy life easier.

Abdal Hakim Murad (Timothy Winter)

“Saying I don’t pray but my heart is clean, is like saying I don’t brush my teeth but my mouth is clean.

Abdulbary Yahya
