A Father's Advice to His Son

My son, one of my father's advice regarding preparations for facing the end times; Establish morning and evening prayers, you are the richest human being. All prayers are great. But, according to my father, the greatest thing is the morning and Isha prayers in congregation at the mosque. With it, your size as a faithful servant of Allah will be seen.

You often see rich people wallowing in wealth, influencers and YouTubers who are able to flex their wealth, don't be sad and feel jealous. If you get into the habit of always observing the morning and evening prayers, you will be the richest person in the world. Because, just two rakats before dawn, it is better than the world and its contents. The Prophet said;

ركعتا الفجر خير من Ų§Ł„ŲÆŁ†ŁŠŲ§ ŁˆŁ…Ų§ ŁŁŠŁ‡Ų§

ā€œ"Two rak'ahs before dawn are better than the world and all it contains"ā€ (Narrated by Muslim)

Make every effort to consistently perform the Fajr and Isha prayers, for they will make you the richest person on earth. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said that these two prayers are very difficult for hypocrites to perform.

Prayer is the most beautiful worship, because it connects you with your creator. He is your light, proof of your obedience and your guardian from the fire of hell. This is the first practice thatHijab Allah on the Day of Judgment. Reading the Koran in the silence of morning and evening prayers is the most powerful way to instill monotheism.

My son, it turns out that the enemies of Islam know the weakness of Muslims, namely being lazy about morning prayers at the mosque. In the book "The Mystery of the Morning Prayer", Shaykh Raghib As Sirjani quotes how when the Egyptian and Jewish soldiers fought, the Egyptian soldiers shouted loudly that they would definitely fight and defeat the Jews.

Then the Jewish soldiers said, "None of that will happen. We will only fear the Muslims if the number of your dawn prayer congregation is the same as the number of Friday prayer congregation.".

My son, keep these two prayers!
