The Prophet Muhammad (saas)

In the hadiths, we see that the Prophet (saas) would pray to Allah
for a finer morality and a good temperament, and that he beseeched

Allah in these terms:

"O Allah, make my constitution and conduct good. O Allah,
save me from bad character and conduct." 34

As Allah has revealed in the verse: "Say: 'What has My Lord to do
with you if you do not call on Him?'..."
(Surat al-Furqan: 77), prayer is a
most important obligation upon

the faithful. A person must
know that no power is of
the slightest use unless
Allah so wishes it. He
must turn to Allah in all
matters, in fear and aspi-

ration, and pray to Him
for everything. The
prayers of the Prophet
(saas), as those of the

other prophets revealed
in the Qur'an, are the
very best examples for
the faithful. They have
shown in their prayers
how they surrendered to

Allah and saw Him as
their only friend and
helper, as well as prais-
ing our Lord by His
most beautiful names.

We can also see from the
prayers of the prophets
how they paid no attention
to time when praying, but would turn to our Lord whenever they were in
need.
