Prayer Times in Sydney

Prayer Times in Sydney is very useful link for all Muslim living in famous city of Australia. Salah is the second pillar of Islam and integral part of Muslim’s faith. The only thing that differentiates between a Believer and a non-Believer is Salah. The Messenger (Peace be upon Him) of Almighty Allah said that:

“Between a man and polytheism and disbelief there stands his neglect of the prayer.”

The main cause of humans in this world was to worship Almighty Allah but we, lost and busy in daily chores and routines, have forgotten that. We must understand the fact that Almighty Allah doesn’t need us, we need Him. The purpose of praying is self-recognition, building a connection with the Exalted One and to be a better person. In the Holy Quran, Allah Almighty says:

“O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.” (2:153)

Significance of Prayer

Salah is the most important pillar of Islam after faith. It’s the most guiding principle every Muslim should follow in order to gain Allah’s will. Every Muslim should try his best to never lose a prayer no matter how serious the reason is. And if for any reason, a prayer is missed, we can pray it later.

Salah is basically a conversation with God, so we must be in the right state of mind and fully concentrate on what we pray, so we can connect to Almighty Allah. In the Holy Quran, it is stated that:

“Woe to those who pray, but are mindful of their prayer, or who pray only to be seen by people. “ (Quran 107:4-6)

Salah is so important that it is considered that a person who prays regularly succeeds in everything he does and the person who does not pray, becomes a failure. The most beloved action of Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) is praying Salah at the accurate time.
