Prayer: A Symbol of Faith | Second Pillar of Islam

Prayer (salah) is the second pillar of Islam. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad stated: Between a man and disbelief is (only) the abandonment of Prayer. (Muslim and Ahmad) This statement is so powerful, that many scholars use it as their proof that those who do not perform their prayers, are outside the fold of Islam. Hence, the importance of prayer cannot be over-emphasized. No other form of worship can be compared to prayer, for it is the basis of religion without which there is no religion. The earlier prophets and their followers practiced prayer in some form as an essential part of the religion of Allah. Performing prayer is not a matter of choice; it is MANDATORY on every adult but rather to establish prayer, meaning that the prayer is ingrained in one's day-to- day routine and not just merely performing it now and then, or when it is convenient. can you convert it in image
