THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER



DOA is one of hope for the goodness of God to apply directly to him. Every individual has needs and desires are, respectively, to either positive or negative, as they had to face various modes of life, in the form of challenges, obstacles, trials and others. Thus they pray to Allah seeking His pleasure and His grace that they wish terkabul.

We pray for the good of yourself rulers, their families, friends, fellow Muslims to non-Muslims even though so their strength and guidance given by Allah.God commands all Muslims to pray and seek blessings from Him. God promised permit application requested by them.Imam Ahmad narrated, from al-Nu'man ibn Bashir, that the Prophet has said: "Verily, the prayer is worship."

Meanwhile, at-Tirmidhi also narrated, from Salman al-Farisi that the Messenger of Allah said which means: "missed days" God can not be removed except by prayer and the age of a person is not increased except by doing good. "Similarly, al-Bazzar, at-Tabrani and al-Hakim have reported, from A'isha that the Prophet Muhammad said, "Preparation and caution are not able to overcome the will of God, while useful prayer to overcome what ditakdir and what will implemented, surely Allah test will be lowered and will meet with a prayer that has been requested, and the two fought each other until the day of judgment. "

From the hadith above, clearly explain the role of prayer in Islam. It is prescribed so that Muslims do in their daily lives. Life in this world full of fighting and conflict between good and bad.Disadvantages elements easily get support and followers, while the elements of goodness quite difficult to get support and followers, moreover it has had to face many challenges and obstacles. Therefore the mujahid requires self-confidence and help from Allah, and this is where the importance of prayer for Muslims.

To ensure prayer granted by God, then Muslims should celebrate the ethics as outlined by the Islamic prayer, including:

* Be alert and keep consistent with not eating things forbidden. Al-Haafiz Ibn Mirdawayh narrated, from Ibn Abbas that he had read a verse of the Qur'an which means, "O people, you eat what is on earth, lawful and good".

Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas said, "O Messenger of Allah pray to Allah that you be the efficacious prayer", and so he Prophet remarked, "O Sad, you should elokkan your food, there would not be the efficacious prayer. Indeed myself in his power, for someone entering the illegal mouthful of food into his belly, God will not accept anything from him for 40 days, and anyone who was raised from the property illegally and laptop, then the Fire is more important him. "

* Facing the Qiblah, if possible, because the Prophet narrated pray while facing the Qiblah.

* Looking for a nice time (primary) to pray like Arafat Day, Ramadan, on Friday, a third of the night, dawn, while prostrating, after prayer and qamat and when the heart is humble.

* Lifting both hands and close them and rub on your face when you're finished praying.

* Start by praising God s.w.t. and blessings be upon Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.

* Pray with a humble and sincere heart simply because Allah swt by lowering the voice, that is not too strong and not too slow.

What is listed above is part of the ethics that should be cared for and taken into account that one prayer was granted by Allah

We must also be clear that manhaj al-Quran in life full of challenges, other than pray, must follow the correct manhaj of believers, fear Allah and do good deeds, while continuing beristiqamah.

God s.w.t. says in Sura al-Nahl, verse 97, which says: "Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, and is a believer, We will surely give him a good life and We will surely give them in return for a better reward of what they do. "

So also God s.w.t. explain the abundance of good security and a myriad of people who believe and keep their duty to Him, including the Surat al-A'raf, verse 96 which says: "If the people of the towns had but believed and feared Allah, We shall bestow on them blessings from the heavens and the earth, but they denied (the Signs of us), then we punish them because of his actions ".

He further s.w.t. says in surah al-Talaq, verses 2 and 3, which means: "And for those who fear Allah, He will provide for him a way out. And give him sustenance from whence there is no thought-conceit. And those who put their trust in Allah, Allah will fulfill (needs). Verily, Allah will accomplish (wills). Surely God had a provision for all things. "

These verses clearly state that God large reward over the world again to those who believe and do right. The rewards include a good life and full of blessing in the world such as the provision of clean, safe from disasters and difficulties of life, and others.

One more thing that should be made clear that faith can grow and can be reduced, as the Prophet's saying: "Faith can be improved and can be reduced".

Therefore faith must be coupled with Allaah. The meaning of Allaah here is still strong (consistent) comply with the instructions of Allah as Allah s.w.t. in Surah Hud, verse 112 which says: "So you might remain on the right path, as commanded ..." The street is the true religion of Islam consists of beliefs, morals and sharia.

Allaah contrary and opposed to all forms of vice, depravity and ugliness like ripples, ujud, pride, revenge, and other treacherous.

Islam teaches us to believe, fear Allah and beristiqamah. When these properties are in man, it will be gushed behavior and actions of the noble Muslim people.

We are not prescribed, but are strictly forbidden pray destruction and devastation of other Muslims, because the Prophet saw said which means: "None of you faith until he loves his brothers (and sisters) as he loves himself."

Similarly, the Prophet s.a.w. said which means: "You see the believers in love, mutual help and friendship, unequaled sepertilah one body, when one of its members complained of pain then the whole body will follow suit too late nights and fever."

Therefore, let us pray to avoid disadvantages others. Prophet s.a.w. when preaching pushed hard by the people of Taif, he was given a choice by the angel in charge of the affairs of the hills so that he commanded only to destroy those who stirred up the hills to throw on them.

But the offer was rejected by the Prophet because he still expect the goodness of their descendants are stubborn before, maybe one day their descendants are believers. Upon s.a.w. pray which means: "O Lord, give thy guidance and guidance to my people, because they do not know."

Obviously how prayer according to the Islamic view. It is a tool to be used by Muslims to seek help from Allah But it should be used in good and constructive, not to scare people nakut.

We should pray when preceded by the efforts and hard work, and the next prayer used for the good and well being of people as a whole.
