Virtues of Prayer in Islam
Prayer — Pillar of Islam
The Prophet ﷺ said: "The head of the matter is Islam, and its pillar is prayer." Prayer is the second pillar of Islam and the first deed for which a person will be accountable on the Day of Judgment.
Virtue of Fajr Prayer
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever prays Fajr is under the protection of Allah." Fajr prayer in Ras Al-Khaimah is offered at true dawn over the majestic horizon of the Hajar Mountains.
Prayer in Congregation
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Prayer in congregation is twenty-seven times superior to prayer performed alone." Praying in RAK's mosques multiplies your reward manifold.
Prayer Brings Peace of Heart
Allah says: "Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest." Prayer at its prescribed times is a constant remembrance that stabilises the heart and illuminates daily life.
Praying on Time
"Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times." (Quran 4:103). Observing prayer at its ordained times is one of the greatest and most rewarding acts of worship.
Prayer in the Mosque
The Prophet ﷺ said: "The most beloved places to Allah are His mosques." RAK mosques like Sheikh Saqr Grand Mosque and the Corniche Mosque are blessed places of worship and learning.
