A Delicious Dish

So imagine for a second!
what you love cooking the most?
and to whom you want to serve your best dish?

To the one you love the most in this world. right?
And you want your dish to be extra special, and you keep on
adding ingredients and bring variety to it.
And then the serving give you the utmost pleasure and the inner peace.

Whoa!
O.M.G you are in love!

So while meeting the Lord of this whole wide world and the one who loves you 70 times more than your mother does!
Why not serve him the best dish?
Surprised??


Messenger of Allah () said, "Command your children to perform Salat (prayer) when they are seven years old, and beat them for (not offering) it when they are ten, and do not let (boys and girls) sleep together".

I meant 'NAMAZ'.
Our five time meeting with Allah Talah.
So why not decorate it? and make it the most delicious dish?




Here's the deal as how to proceed on with this 2nd pillar of Islam.

1. Learn how to do proper Wuzu/Ablution. Because this is a very basic and a very important step. Get the information through a book or ask and expert.



Usman b. 'Affan called for ablution water and this is how he performed the ablution. He washed his hands thrice. He then rinsed his mouth and cleaned his nose with water (three times). He then washed his face three times, then washed his right arm up to the elbow three times, then washed his left arm like that, then wiped his head; then washed his right foot up to the ankle three times, then washed his left foot like that, and then said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) perform ablution like this ablution of mine. Then the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: He who performs ablution like this ablution of mine and then stood up (for prayer) and offered two rak'ahs of prayer without allowing his thoughts to be distracted, all his previous sins are expiated. Ibn Shihab said: Our scholars remarked: This is the most complete of the ablutions performed for prayer.


2. Then, regularise your Namaz.
And for those who are lazy start off with the FARZ namaz, do not leave it for 40 days and then your routine will be set Insha Allah. To enjoy it the most, all you need to do is CONCENTRATE. Get the feeling that you are seeing your Allah Talah and if that's difficult just concentrate on the fact that Allah Talah is seeing you.

3. Start adding Sunnah/Sunnat to the Namaz content.

4. Add nawafil/nafal namaz.

5. Obviously you do know about the Namaz positions of Ruku, Sajdah etc. But get information about these too and show your namaz to someone who knows about the proper postions.

6. Start memorizing Surah, and recite a different Surah in every Rakat.

7. And in the end do not forget to pray. Just bow down in the Sajdah position and pray loads and loads because in the Sajda position you are closest to your Allah Talah.

And there's always the capacity of doing much more!
Enjoy your Namaz and let yourself be closest to your Lord! Allah Talah.
