Poem: The Obligation To Worship Allah And Taking One's Prayers Seriously

๐Ÿ’ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

๐Ÿ’Œ Strange how many feel a void, a sense of emptiness 

In their hearts, often go through existential crisis, 

Or doubt themselves when they're accused of being useless, 

While they, due to pride, ignorance or forgetfulness, 

Can't fulfill the purpose of why we were created.

~•~

Allah the Almighty made us so He is worshipped, 

Designed our bodies not to dance but for His service, 

Gave us orders to avoid what He prohibited, 

And sent divine messages through His signs and Prophets 

Who did their best to spread the truth, lead and admonish.

~•~

To exist just to enjoy makes one's life meaningless.

Simply eating, drinking and behaving like wild beasts 

That do what they can to survive in the wilderness 

Can later cause one to feel bored, empty or depressed,

When the heart isn't filled with faith and prayer's solace.

~•~

Glad tidings of Allah's Love to faithful believers 

Who, when callers call "Come to prayer, come to success," 

Pause worldly tasks to fulfill our life's actual purpose.

Regardless of frequent stress, tiredness, or busyness, 

Praying on time keeps them feeling whole and accomplished.

~•~

One sign you're a true Muslim is when you get upset 

That you'd have to pray Fajr late as you overslept, 

Then once you've prayed and have Salat Ad-Duha added, 

Hoping for Allah's Mercy, your heart can calmly rest. 

Praying to Allah is important to pass His tests.

~•~

๐Ÿ“– Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The first action for which a servant of Allah will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection will be his prayers. If they are in order, he will have prospered and succeeded. If they are lacking, he will have failed and lost. If there is something defective in his obligatory prayers, then Allah the Almighty will say: 'See if My servant has any voluntary (Sunnah) prayers that can complete what is insufficient in his obligatory prayers.' The rest of his deeds will be judged the same way."
