Brothers and Sisters!  In short, everyone present his list of deeds five times a day before Allah. However, one would not know if the Salats have been accepted by Allah or not as the Book of Deed shall be opened on the Day of Judgement.

 

Brothers
and Sisters!  The scholars have
deduced that if after the performance of Salat one feels Serenity in his heart and Peace in mind
with the intention to do good deeds then this is sign the Salat has been accepted by Allah
with His (SWT) Grace.

 

Brothers and Sisters!  Salat is an Ibadaah.  When one is performing his duties and responsibilities as per the Guidance of Allah he is in the
process of Iqamat as Salat (putting guidance of Allah in
practice). At the appointed times
when one come under exclusive presence of Allah he is presenting the process of Iqamat as Salat. In other words the deeds from Fajar to Zohar are put in a pitcher and presented to Allah. This pitcher will be opened on the Day of Judgment and all the good and bad deeds will come out. This means that number of pitchers will represent number of
Salat offered. If someone has missed Salat then there will be shortage of pitchers i.e. there will be no good deeds. Rather there will be bad deeds in the sense that he has not followed the Command of Allah and not to follow Command of Allah is bad deed.

 

Brothers and Sisters!  Let us
try to understand by an example.

 

Brothers and Sisters!  If a workman comes in the factory and does not log in his card but works whole day he will not be entitled to his wages because as per records he was absent. Brothers and Sisters!  So
if a Muslim has been doing good deeds but does not offer Salat he will regarded as an absentee.

 

Brothers
and Sisters!  So in fact every Muslim is in the process of Salat every moment of his life and if his day to day life is
as per Guidance of Allah it will be termed as Ibadaah, the object of creation of mankind:

 

Translation
Surah Adh Dhariyat Ayat no. 56

 

بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم

 

 

And I (Allah)
created not the Jinn and mankind

except that
they should submit to Me (Alone)

 

Brothers and Sisters!  In other words the object of creation of mankind is that he 

·            
Guidance in respect of every sphere of life is on scientific basis. So whoever will follow guidance as per Qur’an he will reap the fruits.

 

Brothers and
Sisters!  In short, the secret of progress of the West is based upon Qur’an, Hadith and Islamic history. On the face value it can be termed as Iqamat as Salat i.e. Guidance of Allah is applied scientifically but it is not Iqamat as Salat in real sense and cannot be termed as Ibadaah.

 

Brothers and Sisters!  Ibadaah means that when it will be
accepted by Allah then the reward will be in the life hereafter which may earn place in Paradise. If Ibadaah is not accepted then reward is given in this world only.

 

Brothers and
Sisters!  In view of the above it is necessary that Iqamat as Salat to be accepted by Allah, one has to have Eman (firm belief) upon the Lone Entity of Allah.

 

Criteria for
the Acceptance of Ibadaah

 

Brothers and Sisters!   It is natural phenomenon that two things have properties so that they can enjoin together. For example:

 

·            
Water if thrown on earth the earth will absorb the water. When water is absorbed in earth it will help to grow what is in the earth.

 

·            
 But if water is thrown in oil it will not absorb water i.e. the
water will not mix with oil. As the water will not mix with oil the pollution will start to emerge.

 

Brothers and Sisters!   The Ibadaah to be acceptable by Allah has criteria of sincerity which has to be in the hearts and minds of the people
along with the Eman upon the Lone Entity of Allah.

 

Brothers and Sisters!   Question arises how the sincerity can develop?

 

Brothers and Sisters!   The component of sincerity is Morality.

 

Brothers and Sisters!   Question arises how Morality can develop?

 

Brothers and Sisters!   Components of Morality are honesty and integrity.

 

Brothers and Sisters!   Question arises how honesty and integrity can develop?

 

Brothers and Sisters!   Component of honesty and integrity is rights of people have to be honoured for the sake of Allah.

 

Brothers and Sisters!   Question arises why rights have to be honoured for the sake of Allah?

 

Brothers and Sisters!   Allah is Creator, Allah is Provider of everything as Allah has assumed
responsibility to provide everything to keep body and soul together. So Allah has given
resources to pass on to other human being. In other words
everyone is a middleman i.e. he is providing services or honouring the right for the sake of Allah.

 

Brothers and Sisters!   Question arises that if one is a middleman and he is doing everything
for the sake of Allah then what is for him?

 

Brothers and Sisters!   When one is doing everything for the sake of Allah, Allah is pleased with him and Allah bestows him with serenity of heart and peace in mind in this world and will give him a place in Paradise where he will

Allah will convert their sins into good deeds, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful

 

Like a New Born Baby

 

Brothers and Sisters!  Allah has devised system of human life in such a manner that one can be clean and pure every moment of his life.

 

How?

 

Brothers and Sisters!  If one offers Fajar Salat and thereafter until Zohar Salat he expends his life as per the Guidance of Allah and repents and beg forgiveness of his sins which he may have committed knowingly and unknowingly with intention that he will be careful in future then his Salat and Iqamat as Salat is accepted by Allah with His (SWT) Grace and his sins forgiven. Brothers and Sisters!  So at Zohar Salat he becomes like a newborn baby. Similarly if his other Salat: Asr, Magrib, Esha and Fajar are accepted by Allah with His Grace and every time he is like a newborn baby then he does not have to worry which is revealed in the Qur’an:

 

Translation Surah Al Baqrah Ayat No. 38

 

بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم

 

 

We said: “Get down all of you from this place (the Paradise), then whenever comes to you Guidance from Me, and whoever follows My Guidance, there shall be no fear on them, nor shall they grieve.

 

RESOLUTION

 

Brothers and Sisters!  Let us make a resolution without any delay by:

 

·             offering two Rakat Salat ul Hajat and beg Allah to give Toffeeq to repent

 

·             when Toffeeq to repent is granted by Allah with His (SWT) Grace then repent and beg forgiveness of Allah for past sins with sincerity of heart and mind.

 

·             plan your day to day life to expend as per the Guidance of Allah and also plan to perform Salat five times a day i.e. exclusive presence before Allah when the time falls due.
