Brothers
and Sisters! Performance of Salat is exclusive presence
before Allah where he presents his Iqamat as Salat i.e. deeds of his day to day life from Fajar to Zohar, Zohar to Asr, Asr to Magrib and Magrib to Esha.

 

Brothers and Sisters! If a Bandah does not perform Salat five times a day i.e. comes in the exclusive presence of Allah then technically the contact and relationship between Allah and Bandah
is ended.

 

Brothers and Sisters! Let us try
to understand this by a worldly example.

 

Brothers and Sisters! An employer commands his employees that they must come to present progress of their assignment after every two hours. So if any of the employees does not come in the exclusive presence of his employer then he has committed a crime and crime is punishable. Brothers and Sisters! The punishment can be that he will not be rewarded or may be fined or be fired.

 

Brothers and Sisters! Exclusive presence keeps contact intact even if he may not expend his day to day life in accordance with the Guidance of Allah and Teachings of Anbiyya e Karam (Prophets). Therefore, every Muslim is under obligation to offer Salat even he is sick and cannot move. In case of disabilities one can perform Salat by sitting or lying on bed.

 

Brothers and Sisters!  Question arises why there is no exemption in performance of Salat?

 

·      
Is it, because to keep ‘Greatness’ and Magnificence of Allah intact?

 

·      
Is it, because Allah needs the effects and impact arising
by the performance of Salat to preserve the system of the universe in intact form?

 

·      
Is it, because forces which are prevalent between earth and sky, those are required
to keep botanical, non-botanical,
animals in live form for the utilization of mankind that Salat to be
performed under any circumstances?

 

Brothers and Sisters! In view of the context of following Hadith, the answer is that the
performance of Salat is not necessary any of the aspects mentioned above:

 

Khatim ul Anbiyya Mohammed (SAW) said to the effect:

 

·      
If each creation and atom of the universe prostrate before Allah for His (SWT) obedience
and servitude, there shall not be a minutest increase in Allah’s Greatness and Magnificence.

 

·      
If all the creations of the universe and each
atom become disobedient to Allah there shall be no reduction, equivalent to a small particle in Allah’s Greatness and Magnificence.

 

Brothers and Sisters! The scholars have derives the imperativeness of performance of Salat five times a day is that it keeps Bandahs closer to Allah and even if they are not following the Guidance of Allah and Teachings of Anbiyya e Karam in their day to day life i.e. Iqamat as Salat, the continuous exclusive presence before Allah i.e. performance of Salat five times a day will, at some point in his life, will inspire him for Iqamat as
Salat.

 

Brothers and Sisters! To appreciate the imperativeness of performance of Salat please try to
understand the following questions and answers:

 

Question: If Allah does not require the need for
performance of Salat then who does?

 

Answer: Mankind need
to perform Salat to get closer to
Allah.

 

Question: Why mankind wants to get closer to Allah?

 

Answer: When mankind gets closer to Allah, Allah is pleased with him.

 

Question: What mankind will achieve if Allah is pleased with him?

 

Answer: There is life after death which is forever.
This life will start soon after when one passes away i.e. as soon as he has
taste of death.

 

Question: What if someone does not want to live after death?

 

Answer: Everyone has to live because there is no choice.

 

Question: Why no one has a choice?

 

Answer: In this world everyone
made utilization of every creation of the universe, had contacts and relationships with
the members of society.
So everyone has to account for all the amenities of life he enjoyed in this world on the Day of
Judgment where it will be
determined if one has been successful or not

 

Question: what is the criterion of judgment?

 

Answer: If you have preformed Salat and Iqamat as Salat.

 

Question: How do I perform Salat and Iqamat as Salat?

 

Answer: read book: As Salat: Why As Salat is Part of Mankind’s Life?

[Please read the features
of the book under Link: No 8 Book As Salat]

 

 

Brothers and Sisters! The crux of the performance of Salat and Iqamat as Salat is that if one wants to be successful in the life Hereafter
to live in Paradise forever then there is no exemption.

 

Brothers
and Sisters! If we
look with an Eagle Eye we will realize that how
Merciful Allah is and how He (SWT)
loves His (SWT) Bandahs to be successful in the
life hereafter that He (SWT) has not granted exemption to perform Salat even if
you are sick, cannot sit or you are bed bound.

 

Brothers and Sisters! However, there is exception that should one is not able to perform Salat with the time due for some reason then he can offer Qaza Salat.

 

Brothers and Sisters! You see how Merciful Allah is that He (SWT) has granted exception but no exemption.
