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.
