Welcome to a new episode of this fascinating talk entitled “Prayer:
Key to Success” wherein Sheikh Mufti Menk continues his speech about the
second pillar of Islam, that is of prayer.
He begins his talk by shedding some light on those who are enabled to
preserve and stay steadfast on their prayer. Almighty Allah says:
hose who believe in the Hereafter believe in it, and they are maintaining their prayers. (Al-An`am 6:92)
According to this verse, only those who believe in Allah, His
Messenger, the Last Day, and His Scriptures can maintain their prayer
regularly.
Second, any disbeliever who declares the testimony of faith and
offers the obligatory prayer, he/she becomes our brother/sister in
Islam. This is due to Allah’s saying:
But if they
should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their
way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (At-Tawbah 9:5)
Third, one should seek sustenance and help through establishing
prayer and patience and this matter is absolutely easy for those who
have humbleness for the sake of Allah. The Almighty Allah says:
And seek help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to Allah]. (Al-Baqarah 2:45)
After that, Sheikh Mufti explains an important point which is offering the nafl prayers in one’s house as this was the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Enjoy watching this interesting talk with Sheikh Mufti Menk.
