Dear All...
Welcome to The Daily Reminder and our discussion surrounding Salaah & its importance in the 21st century.
My dear brothers & sisters...Islam is not just a religion, but a religion and a way of life. It came to teach us everything!
Rasoolullah (ﷺ) came to remove us from the depths of darkness to the heights of guidance & even though he was busy doing that. He taught us about everything good and he advised us towards it & told us about everything bad and evil & warned us against it.
And this was the testimony of the Sahaaba (radiyAllahu Anhum Ajma'een) From the teachings of Rasoolullah (ﷺ) is to be a good listener & never to interrupt somebody when they are speaking.
For once Rasoolullah (ﷺ) was teaching his companions & a bedouin walked into the gathering and said, 'O Prophet of Allah...when is the coming of the hour?' and Rasoolullah (ﷺ) heard him but he continued teaching.
To give a practical lesson to this person, never to interrupt when a discussion is taking place & when Rasoolullah (ﷺ) finished his lesson, he called out & said, 'Who is the one (or where is the one) who asked his question?
SubahaanAllah !
When we look at Salaah...my dear brothers & sisters, it also teaches us the all important concept of being a good listener for during Salaah we have been commanded as those behind the imam to remain silent & listen to the recitation of Imam.
Not just remain silent but also listen to the recitation of Imam. We have been commanded to allow the Imam to do his part & when he's done his part & he finishes Al Fathihah, now the part of those behind the imam comes in to say Ameen & when that is done...the imam continues with the recitation while everybody else remains silent, & not just remains silent but also pays attention to the recitation.
Allahu Akbar!
How Salaah develops our character & teaches us to be good listeners.
It is said that Allah has given us one tongue but two ears so let us listen more than we speak.
That's the lesson for this reminder.
I love you all for the sake of Allah!
Until next time...
Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaathuhu
