Continued from previous issues.
In June 2010 issue we have specifically discussed about the significance of performing 5-time obligatory prayers (Namaz) in congregation at Mosque. Although obligatory prayers at places other than Mosque are acceptable there is warning from our prophet (s) against its missing without any legitimate reasons as prescribed in Islamic Shariah. In last 7 parts we have discussed the value of 5-times obligatory Namaz which performance is same as Eman, that is to say the second name of Namaz is Eman. It is based on Allah’s commandment “And establish prayers, and be not of those who ascribe partners unto Him” (30/31), and our prophet ‘s saying “Between Kufr & Eman is missing of prayers”. Let us have views of some scholars in regard to a negligent Muslim of Namaz as follows: 1. His slaughtering (Zabiha) is Haram 2. His Nikah if married is broken 3. He will not be buried in Muslim graveyard 4. According to 3 schools of thoughts, he will be beheaded.  There are 15 prescribed punishments for those who ignore prayers, 06 punishment in his life, 03 at death time, 03 in graveyard and 03 at the day of resurrection. It is the prayer (Namaz) that was decreed before any obligatory worship through prophets to their nations (Ummah). All prophets have willed it to their Ummah prior to their final departure from this temporal world to the eternal world. Our last prophet said: Be cautious of the responsibility towards prayers and servants. It is reported when our prophet was in agonies of death, he kept on telling, Namaz, Namaz, Namaz. That is why it is first which will be asked about at the day of judgement. If it is perfect, there is hopefully salvation, if not there is no escape. May Allah Almighty guide us to understand the importance of prayer (Namaz) which is not even forgiven at a dreadful moment like battle field. ….… to

  Sharing increases Your Worth: Story of a Farmer There was a farmer who grew superior quality, award-winning corn in his farm. Each year, he entered his corn in the state fair where it won honors. & Prizes. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew his corn. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. "How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" The reporter asked. "Why brother" '' the farmer replied, "Didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen grains from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior, sub-standard & poor quality corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I have to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors to grow good corns." The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbors' corn also improves. So it is in the other dimensions and areas of life! Those who choose to be in harmony must help their neighbors and colleagues to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others live well. The value of a life is measured by the lives it touches... Success does not happen in isolation; it is most often a participatory and collective process. So share the good practices, ideas and new knowledge with your family, friends, team members and neighbors & all. As they say: "Success breeds Success."
