Hadith about
salat

Prayer washes away sins. In a hadith, prayer is likened

to a river in which man takes a bath five times a day
and no dirt remains on his body.
(peace be upon him) has said: “Surely the
Angel of Death repels Satan from the
proximity of one who had adhered to and
guarded his prayers, and makes him speak
out the testimony of ‘There is no God
except Allah and Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah’ during that terrifying
and frightening state (of death).”
(peace be upon him) has said:
“The first thing for which a
person shall be subjected to
reckoning is prayers. If they are
accepted, all his other deeds
shall (also) be accepted. But if
rejected, all his other deeds shall
(also) be rejected.”

 Discussions:
Does God need our gratitude?

Answer: Never! Appreciation of a favor is a virtue for us and a sign of

our sense of justice, and not a sign of God’s need of our thanks. If a
teacher says to his student, “You have to acknowledge my efforts (in
teaching you) and study hard, the teacher does not mean that he is in
need of his student’s acknowledgment and seriousness in studies. It is
rather to enhance the excellence of the student himself.
 Discussions:
In another place, the Qur’an addresses those who are careless
of their prayer, sometimes performing it and at other times not
performing it, thus:

‫َف َو ْيٌل ِّلْل ُم َص ِّليَن ٭ اَّلِذيَن ُه ْم َع ن َص اَل ِتِه ْم َس اُه وَن‬

“Woe to them who pray—those who are heedless of their
prayers.”
