24 Hours in the Life of a Muslim
                         24 Hours in the Life of a Muslim




                    A believer who spends his whole day seeking Allah's favour is
                resolved and eager in the performance of his prayer. He remembers
                Allah all day long in his heart and in his activities and ponders

                deeply His power, intelligence, knowledge, artistry and other at-
                tributes. This attitude is the application in daily life of the com-
                mands in the following verses:
                    … Remember your Lord much and glorify Him in the evening
                    and after dawn. (Surah Al 'Imran: 41)
                    Remember your Lord in yourself humbly and fearfully, with-
                    out loudness of voice, morning and evening… (Surat al-A'raf:
                    205)
                    In verse 28 of Surat ar-Ra'd, our Lord says that hearts will find

                                 peace only in remembering Him:
                                  …Those who believe and whose hearts find
                                   peace in the remembrance of Allah. (Surat ar-
                                   Ra'd: 28)
                                       A person who takes the Qur'an for his
                                   guide will be meticulous in performing acts of
                                  worship such as praying five times a day, fasting
                                     and performing wudu, as Allah has com-
                                          manded. For example, saying prayers on
                                             time is an important matter. He does
                                               not let worldly concerns stand in
                                                the way of his prayer. Every time
                                                  he says his prayers, he does it

                                                    with humility, joy and enthu-
                                                      siasm, hoping that it brings
                                                         him closer to Allah.
