Salah is my shield from the Hell-fire, my key to Paradise and more than anything else, my connection to Allah.
Having opened my eyes and heart to the importance of Salah, I must now implement an effective plan of action that will uplift my prayer.
Now is the time to act upon 5 simple resolutions that will enable my Salah to secure Allah’s love and mercy forever:
1. I will take a 2 minute time-out before I pray to remind myself of the importance of my meeting with Allah. I will also clear my mind of all distractions that will reduce my concentration and sincerity in Salah.
2. I will pray my Salah on time.
3. I will reflect on the meaning of my Salah as I pray. In this way, I will pray with my tongue, mind and heart.
4. I will try my best to avoid sinning in the hours and moments between my Salah.
5. I will take time after each Salah to make a short Du’a from my heart and recite Tasbeeh of Lady Fatimah (S). Upon completing my prayers, I will thank Allah in Sajdah al-Shukr.
