Salah Develops Unity ᴴᴰ - by Sheikh Sajid Umar

Dear Brothers and Sisters

Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaathuhu!

I welcome you all to The Daily Reminder and our discussion about Salah in the 21st century.

Brothers and Sisters, a long time ago when I was a young boy, my dad asked me to bring to him some twigs. And as I did so, and handed it to him, he asked me to attempt breaking those twigs. And I tried with all my might, but I could not. And then he took the twigs from me and handed me one. And he said, 'now try' and I immediately snapped it with my little hands. And I recall him smiling at me and saying to me that, 'my dear son, I want you to take the lesson from these twigs. And that is the lesson of unity and being united - That when these twigs were together, they were unbreakable. But the moment we separated them, you managed to break them.'

He said, 'my dear son, never disunite with your family. Look after your sisters. Be together with your sisters. And united, you will be unbreakable.'

SubahaanAllah!

May Allah preserve him in Allah`s obedience -- Ameen!

My dear brothers and sisters, if we look at Salah, we see that Salah nurtures within us the ideology of being united. And it teaches us the importance of being united. For Allah (subahaanahu wa ta'ala), especially for the males, brings us together united five times a day. And brings us together united one day during the week...and that is on the day of Jumu'ah and brings us together united twice during the year, and that is during the days of Eid.

Allahu Akbar!

Salah teaches us unity -- that in our Salah, we all stand in a straight line behind the imam, facing the qiblah. Irrespective of colour, irrespective of race, irrespective of financial standing or material well-being. Whether you are a king, whether you are a pauper, you all stand together in front of Allah (subahaanahu wa ta'ala) and this, my dear brothers and sisters, teaches us how powerful the unity and bond of Iman is, and that it is far more stronger than the bond of blood and the unity of blood. Allahu Akbar!

What an amazing lesson Salah teaches us.

My dear brothers and sisters...let us take wholesale from our Salah. Let us adopt the culture of Salah. Let us make part and parcel of our lives the character of Salah. Let us be united with one another. Let us be forgiving to one another. Especially our close ones. Especially our families. Especially those that are supposed to enjoy the bonds of kinship. May Allah (subahaanahu wa ta'ala) grant us the understanding.

I love you all for the sake of Allah.

Until next time...

Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaathuhu!
