Just as নামাজের সময় is necessary to leave the actions which decrease the importance of prayer and damage the presence of the heart, the prayer is not to be carried out in the state of negligence, keeping urine, neither in a turbulent setting. The worshipper should not stand before views which may ruin his (spiritual) view. (It is important) to establish the actions which raise the incentive of prayer. For that reason, wear clean garments, brush the hair, comb the teeth, perfume oneself and put on a ring of ‘Aqeeq.
There are conditions necessary to remember for the acceptance of prayer and its excellence and merit, in addition to the required conditions: One is that man seek repentance from his sins and ask Allah’s mercy before prayer. An additional, is to avoid every one of the kinds of disobedience and sins which avoid the acceptance of prayer, like jealousy, pompousness, backbiting, not paying Khums or Zakah, instead, every type of disobedience and sin.
Prayer, sitting and resting and numerous miscellaneous usages are permitted in huge agricultural and non-agricultural lands that have no fencings and walls and there is no farming in them actually. It being the same whether the land is near a city or village or remote from it, the same whether its owner is immature or an adult. However, when the property’s owner has expressly refuted permission or we understand the absence of his approval in advance, it is forbidden to utilize the land and prayer on this land is undesirable.
Presence of the heart is the spirit of prayer and it is necessary that the worshipper avoid all matters from his affairs that break the attention (in prayer) and occupy the detects. (One should) comprehend the meaning of the words of prayer and that attention is paid (to these words) in the state of prayer. (One should) to stand in prayer with humility and anxiety of Allah and recognize to Whom one is speaking with and to take into consideration oneself as a very trivial servant before the Lord with the sight of the Almighty and Glorious.
One should perform prayer initially of its time and give importance to (promptness) and to avoid hastiness and entering prayer and to avoid whatever produces the ruin and corruption of prayer. It has been narrated in a practice that the Holy Prophet, the Blessings of Allah be upon him and his family, saw a man someday in his Mosque praying without completing his Bowing and his prostration. Then, the Prophet, the Blessings of Allah be upon him and his family, stated: He had died with this prayer, he would never ever have died with my faith.
A lot of emphasis has been mentioned in the verses of the Holy Qur’an, the Islamic traditions, the encourages of the Holy Prophet, the Blessings of Allah be upon him and his family and the A’immah of advice, peace be upon them. It resembles one of the most important commitments and responsibility of a Muslim and because of this, it is considered that abandoning prayer is just one of the best of significant sins.
Prayer is the connection of man with Allah and brings about purity of the soul, cleanliness of the heart, attains the spirit of holiness, trains man and makes him careful of sin and disobedience. From the narratives it is determined that prayer is the most important of worship. If prayers are acceptable to Allah, He will accept the other kinds of worship besides prayer. When the prayer is rejected, worship aside from prayer will also be rejected. The narrative define that he that prays the five (day-to-day) prayers is detoxified from sin as if one bathes in a river daily and evening five times. Uncleanness is gotten rid of and no impurity stays.
It has been narrated relating to the situations of the Infallibles (Ma’soomeen), peace be upon them, that they were so fascinated in the remembrance of Allah in the state of prayer until they became unmindful of themselves whereas Ameerul-Mu’mineen (Imam Ali), peace be upon him, was struck in the leg with an arrow, then, they drew it from his leg in the state of prayer and he did not feel it, peace be upon him. That results from his overall immersion in remembrance and prayer.
