Imam Ali
(a.s.) said the following about salat:
One should
not offer salat in a state of laziness and tiredness.
Blessed is
the Prophet (s.a.w.a.s) and his Pure Progeny (a.s.), Allah will accept your prayers
when you mention them respectfully.
Depend upon
Allah after you perform two rakats of morning salat. The duas are accepted during
that salat.
Do not go to
the Holy Haram with your swords.
Prostrate
for extended duration in Allah’s obedience to achieve salvation.
Salat is the
most favorite deed to Allah. The worldly pleasures should not distract you from
performing salat at their proper time. Allah has rebuked those who disregarded
their times of prayers. “Woes to the prayer ones” (107:4) Who are ignorant of
their prayers.” (107:5)
While
praying, notable turnings invalidate the salat.
Tucking up
the clothes is purity for offering prayers. Cleanse your clothes (74:4)
Teach your children
how to pray. When they are eight years, you should discipline them if they are
negligent of Salat. Saho doubts are forbidden in the Witr Salat, in the first
two rakas of every obligatory, in Fajr and Maghrib salat, and every obligatory
two rakats prayers as offered in travel.
It is
unacceptable for men to prostrate on pictures or pictured rugs. It is allowed if
the pictures are covered. It is unacceptable for men to prostrate on a bag of
wheat or other eatables.
Allah will
forgive those who offer prayers with full recognition of their worth.
Avoid
offering a recommendable prayer in the time of an obligatory one.
The
Persistent in their salat are those who complete their salat of the day by nighttime
and complete their salat they missed at night the next day. (70:23)
A single prayer
at the two place Al-Harmein is equal to one thousand prayers at other places.
When you
finish your prayer then raise your hands for supplications. Every time you pray
salat, treat every salat as your last salat.
The prayers
of those who consume intoxicants will not be accepted by Allah for forty
nights.
You should concentrate
towards Allah while praying salat. In salat, justify the Surah, and Ruku’ and
Sujood.
