Strict Orders for Observance of Obligatory Salat
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"
Guard strictly (the five obligatory) As-Salawat (the prayers) especially the middle Salat (i.e., the best prayer
- `Asr).'' (2:238)
"But if they repent and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat, then leave their way free
.'' (9:5)

Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH): "Which act is
the best?'' He (PBUH) said, "
As-Salat at their fixed times
.'' I asked, "What next?'' He (PBUH) said, "
Being dutiful to
parents
.'' I asked, "What next?'' He (PBUH) said, "
Striving (Jihad) in the way of Allah
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith has already been mentioned. Here it is repeated to indicate that every Salat should be
performed at its proper time. Deliberate delay in performing is wrong. The ultimate result of deliberate delay is that
one becomes sluggish and begins to ignore and neglect it by force of habit, which is obviously very dangerous.
Imam Ash-Shafi`i is of the opinion that if a person shows such laziness in offering Salat that he misses its proper
time, then he is liable to make penitence for it. If he does not do so, he should be killed.

Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
Islam is based
on five (pillars): testifying that there is no true god except Allah and that Muhammad (PBUH) is His slave and
Messenger; performing of Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat); the payment of Zakat; performing Hajj (pilgrimage) to the House
[of Allah (Ka`bah)]; and Saum (fasting) during the month of Ramadan
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
In this Hadith, Islam has been compared to a building which rests on five pillars. As a building
cannot stand without its foundation, similarly, Islam cannot exist without these pillars. For this reason, he who
denies any one of these obligations is a disbeliever, and he who neglects any of them due to slackness or want of
attention is a sinful and impious Muslim.

Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
I have been
commanded to fight against the people till they testify La ilaha illAllah (There is no true god except Allah) and that
Muhammad (PBUH) is His slave and Messenger, and to establish As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and to pay Zakat; and
if they do this, then their blood and property are secured except by the rights of Islam, and their accountability is left
to Allah
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith has already appeared before. Here the word "
An-Nas
'' translated `the people' in the
Hadith stands for those who associate others with Allah in worship. The people of the Book are not included among
them. "
Haqqul-Islam
'' translated here as "
the rights of Islam
'' denotes legal castigation, etc. That is, the punishments
which are given for crimes like fornication, murder, etc.
