MILESTONE 2: GIVE ATTENTION TO PERFORMING PRAYER Creed and belief when firmly fixed in the mind, must translate into physical actions. Love, fear and humiliation to Allah cannot reside in the heart of a person without coupling that with physical actions that proves the heart feelings. Prayer is the most important physical worship that satisfies the heart love, fear and devotion to Allah. A child when is trained to perform this act of worship from the very beginning, he will grow up as a true slave of Allah. In a 24 hours, 5 prayers come to remind a submitter his duty towards his Lord. Five prayers -when performed sincerely- will ensure a peace of mind and will prevent a man/woman from indulging into sinful actions openly or covertly. Our Prophet instructed the parents to order their kids for prayer at the age of 7, and to punish them (beat them) at the age of 10. Please note that, there is 3 years period from the time of ordering till the time of punishing. In this 3 years the child have been ordered (3 years x 360 days x 5 times prayer =) 5400 times. So, if 5400 verbal orders did not benefit, then beating is the only solution! |
