A

Journey Through
Salah
Abu Hurairah (may Allah blesses him), reported that the Messenger
of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬says:
‫صلُ َحتْ فَقَ ْد أ َ ْفلَ َح َوأ َ ْن َج َح َو ِإ ْن‬
َ ‫ص ََلتُهُ فَ ِإ ْن‬
َ ‫ع َم ِل ِه‬َ ‫ب ِب ِه ا ْلعَ ْب ُد يَ ْو َم ا ْل ِقيَا َم ِة ِم ْن‬ُ ‫س‬َ ‫ِإ َّن أ َ َّو َل َما يُ َحا‬
‫ظ ُروا َه ْل ِلعَ ْبدِي‬ ُ ‫ب ع ََّز َو َج َّل ا ْن‬ َّ ‫ش ْي ٌء قَا َل‬
ُّ ‫الر‬ َ ‫ص ِم ْن فَ ِري‬
َ ‫ضتِ ِه‬ َ َ‫س َر فَ ِإ ْن ا ْنتَق‬ ِ ‫اب َو َخ‬َ ‫سدَتْ فَقَ ْد َخ‬ َ َ‫ف‬
َ‫علَى َذ ِلك‬ َ ‫ع َم ِل ِه‬ َ ‫سائِ ُر‬ َ ‫ض ِة ث ُ َّم يَكُو ُن‬
َ ‫ص ِم ْن ا ْلفَ ِري‬ َ َ‫ِم ْن ت َ َط ُّوعٍ فَيُ َك َّم َل ِب َها َما ا ْنتَق‬
“The first of man’s deeds for which he will be called to account on the Day of
Resurrection will be Salat. If it is found to be perfect, he will be safe and
successful; but if it is incomplete, he will be unfortunate and a loser. If any
shortcoming is found in the obligatory Salat, the Glorious and Exalted Rubb will
command to see whether His slave has offered any voluntary Salat so that the
obligatory Salat may be made up by it. Then the rest of his actions will be treated
in the same manner” [Sunan al-Tirmidhi: 413].

Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: The Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬said,
“The key to Paradise is Salah, and the key to Salah is ablution.”
