Ya Ali Madad. This post has teachings of Allah, the Holy Prophet, Noor Mowlana Murtaza Ali (a.s.) and Noor Mowlana Sultan Muhammad Shah(a.s.).

This post consists of two parts:

 

Part 1: Excerpts from Pir Pandiyat-i Jawanmardi

"Ibn Mas'ud said: I asked the Prophet which action is dearest to God and he replied, "Prayer at its proper time." 1
 
"Ibn Mas'ud [said] ...God revealed [to the Prophet], "And observe the prayer at the two ends of the day and the neighbouring parts of the night, for good deeds remove evil deeds." (Holy Qur'an 11:114). The man asked God's messenger whether this referred to him, and he replied, "It refers to everyone of my whole people." 2
 
"Abdallah b. 'Amr. b. al-'As said that the Prophet mentioned prayer one day saying, "If anyone keeps to it, it will be light, evidence and salvation for him on the day of resurrection." 3
 
Teachings of Allah and His Holy Prophet Muhammad (s.a.s.)
"Optional prayers cannot attain the pleasures of God for you when compulsory daily prayers are left unattended." 4
 
Teaching of Hazrat (Noor) Mowlana (Shah) Murtaza Ali (a.s.)
"The healthy human body is the temple in which the flame of the Holy Spirit burns, and thus it deserves the respect of scrupulous cleanliness and personal hygiene. Prayer is a daily necessity, a direct communication of the spark with the universal flame" 5
 
Teaching of Noor Mowlana Shah Sultan Muhammad Shah (a.s.)
