Benefits of Salah (Solat)

Assalamu'alaikum Wr Wb!

Alhamdulillah. How are you my readers?? Insya'Allah All of you are blessed by Allah with health and happiness. Amin. Alhamdulillah, today, I have the opportunity to share about the benefits of Salah (Solat) as promised in my previous post. I'm truly sorry to those who have waited quite a long time for this =D. I was really really busy with school. Alright, I did some reading on the net and from books. Alhamdulillah, I manage to find plenty of reminders for myself and in fact, some of the benefits that I just know of. Below are some of my reflections and what I've read about.

Question:
Why is Salah (Solat) a benefit????

Answer:
Salah is a guardian, a shield that protects you from the evil of the world and gives your soul comfort as it knows you are preparing for it's final abode and resting place.

I have to admit that in my early teenage years, I performed Salah just for the sake of doing it or because my mother told me to. I didnt understood how Salah can help me and at times, I followed dunya and neglect Salah.

And the outcome?

I got easily stressed, mixed up and lost in the dark, I became easily ill, easily angry, easily depressed and constantly felt confused and felt useless. It was scary but Alhamdulillah, Allah helped me and I began to learn the beauty of Salah and Salah brought me back!! Subhanallah.

AND I HAVE A STORY TO SHARE! :D

When I read about the Salah of the Sahabas (Companions of Rasulullah [p.b.u.h]), I feel mesmerized. Subhanallah, their love for Allah s.w.t was at the maximal and it can be shown from their Salah.

I read a book which state, "The Sahabas would take any opportunity to perform Salah because they love Allah and they MISS facing and praising Allah S.W.T" Masya'Allah, I am very far from this and I'm sure all of us would want to achieve this stage of Salah because the niat of the Sahabas to perform Salah is not because its a MUST or it's a cure to the heart but because they MISS Allah! Subhanallah.

So the short story I want to share is about Sayidina Ali (r.a). There was a time when an arrow pierced his calf. In order to remove it, he performed Salah. His Salah was full of khusyu' and ultimate focus that he didnt feel a single pain or sting! when one of his companions pulled the arrow from his calf. Masya'Allah. I'm touched by this story. His level of focus and khusyu' in Salah is so high and his love for Allah is so deep that nothing! not even pain or the whispers of Shaytan! can distract his prayers. Subhanallah.

My readers, I want to continue to write more about what I've read but it might bore you. However, have no fear! :D. Alhamdulillah, I found some videos which includes the information that I wanted to write. So below are the videos, do view them. I love the videos. Insya'Allah you'll like 'em and would learn from them too. Amin!









Jazakallahu Khair. Barakallahufeek.
