Forty Ahadith on Salat

  1. The Standard of Islam   ==========================

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللٌّهِ (ص): عَلَمُ الإِسْلاَمِ الصَّلاةُ فَمَنْ فَرَّغَ لَـهَا قَلْبَهُ وَ حَافَظَ عَلَيْهَا بِحَدِّهَا وَ وَقْـتِهَا وَ سُـنَـنِهَا فَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ.

 
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his progeny) said: “The prayer is the standard of Islam.  Whosoever loves prayers, and observes their limits, timings and methods, is a true believer.”** **
