Slow down your life with #SlowSalah
Alhamdulillah, we are blessed as Muslims to have the five daily prayers that help us pause in the middle of our busy lives and turn to our Creator. But sadly, many of us rush through them trying to catch up with life.Â
The irony is that we rush through our meeting with our Creator, Who has control over everything in our lives, to hurry towards meetings with people or tasks that only Allah can facilitate in the first place!
The Prophet Muhammad ï·º spoke directly about this issue. In a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah, the Prophet ï·º noticed a man praying in a hurried manner. He said to him, “Go back and pray, for you have not prayed.” This happened three times, until the man said, “Teach me, O Messenger of Allah.” The Prophet ï·º then explained, “When you stand for prayer, perform wudu properly, then face the qibla and say takbir. Then recite what you can from the Quran, then bow until you feel at ease in ruku’, then rise until you are standing straight, then prostrate until you feel at ease in prostration…” (Bukhari)
