Salah is the Arabic word is an obligatory worship for Muslim. Before performing the prayer, an ablution is needed, and with the cleansing of the body we are helping ourselves to be away from germs and virus, consequently a Muslim that offer his/her  five  daily prayers on the proper time is keeping himself/herself  away from the doctor.

We should offer prayer on prescribed time, as from specific time of the day our Allah is guiding us to be on time and have a good time management. When we are performing prayer, we are actually knocking at the door of Allah, and whoever is offering prayer, Allah will open its door for him/her, He also gives us immense reward for praying Salat.

There are several benefits of offering Salat to our health which I would like to share from this post. Online Quran learning courses also tell you about the benefits of Salah.

Performing prayer is an excellent type of exercise to stop indigestion. Through offering Takbir at the beginning of salat, it increases the flow of blood towards torso.

When we perform sajdah in salat, we touch the ground with our forehead, and this increases fresh supply of blood to our brain.

salat is an excellent source of exercise for our heart as well, which is our an important organ of the body. According to a Hadith of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW),”There is an organ in the body, when it is healthy, the whole body is healthy, and when this is sick, the entire body becomes sick”. It is the heart.

Manage your daily time and make full positive use of it as the time once passed will never come again even if you spend the whole money of the world. Give just 10 minutes from 24 hours of the day to Allah Almighty who is the lord of all. You can consult Quran teacher as well for more Islamic knowledge. Our beloved prophet Muhammad said that:

“The most beloved action to Allah is the most continuous, even if little.” (Istigamah)- [HadithMuslim]

There are some actions or good deeds that we can perform in just 10 minutes.

To get in touch with Allah Almighty, Quran and Sunnah we all should consult a good and professional Quran Teacher. Muhammad (p.b.u.h) was the best teacher in this world who left his Sunnah behind for his Ummah. I’ll end this post by mentioning Hadith here.

“O messenger of Allah, which people are the best? He said whose life is long and his actions are good. He said, and what people are the worst? He said, whose life is long and his actions are bad.” (Muslim)

Our beloved prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) was the first role model and the best teaches among the whole world as he claimed that he sent down as a teacher. Muhammad (p.b.u.h) has the best moral and characteristics, once someone asked about the life style of Muhammad (p.b.u.h) to Ayesha (R.A), she replied:  have you never read the holy Quran? Muhammad was sent down to warn mankind for wrath and punishment of Allah and to guide human being for paradise. As Allah said in Quran:

“O Prophet! Verily, we have sent you as a witness, and a bearer of glad tidings, and a Warner and as one who invites to Allah (alone) by His permission and as a lamp that gives light”. (Suratul Ahzaab 33:45-46)

Arabs at that time were not so much literate. Just seventeen people had the writing skills over there and some collective people used to go for trade In Mecca. It shows there were no awareness of educational knowledge before Muhammad (p.b.u.h).scholars and writers are shocked that Muhammad (p.b.u.h) never took any class from anywhere but still he leaded the whole nation and was the best teacher among all.

The awareness of pen and education spread when Allah revealed first five verses of Quran. Arab people were totally unaware of general education and Quran knowledge but the teaching provided by our beloved prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) purified their (both of men and women) lives from dark to light.

Muhammad (p.b.u.h) said:”Seek knowledge from your birth to your grave”.

Quran is the only key to get in touch with knowledge and education to explore ourselves and to lead the world. Although Muhammad (p.b.u.h) died fourteen centuries ago but the education and knowledge that he spread is still same without any alteration and changes.

Post 9/11- Islam and West:

It has been many years since the 9/11 attacks incident took place. The world politics has changed dramatically after that. However the relationship between America and the Muslim world went through a lot in this scenario. Most of the surveys of the countries around the globe show that United States of America draw most of its negative assessment from the Muslim nations.

In the same way researches show that four out of ten Americans have positive or favorable views for Islam. Most of the Americans have perceived the negative image of Islam and they consider Islam, a violent religion.  The American – Islam gap is increasing day by day. These distances would lead the world to major civilization conflicts and clashes according to the famous Researcher Bernard Lewis.

Are We Heading Towards The Clash Of Civilization?

Now it is still a mystery if we really are heading towards the clash of civilizations or are these small and timely clashes which would not exist after a short span of time? The recent American invasions and the American interference in the domestic affairs of many Muslims countries show that things might get more messed up. If it is so, Muslim world will be amongst the biggest suffers.

Muslims are in a state of confusion and misery, all due to their own negligence. Muslims neglected their foundation. They forgot what their Lord asked them to do and they engaged themselves in the materialistic affairs of the world. These have resulted this way and if you really wish to survive out of these affairs, strengthen your base through online Quran reading.
