Continuity in Performing Salat

19.07 Unknown 0 Comments



Hi guys, today’s post I am gonna tell you a little bit about my problems in praying (salat) and give you some tips to do if you have the same problems. So, let’s check this out!!
I am a Muslim and my family as well. I grow up in Indonesia as you know it’s Muslim country. I ever studied in Islamic Junior High School and now I am in College. When I was in Elementary school I went to Islamic school at afternoon studying Quran and many Islamic books. So I thought I had some knowledge about Islam.
But after I schooled in State Senior High School which is only 2 hour Islamic lesson we got a week, so I was kind of feeling lack of something (in my soul). I seldom performed salat because I thought no one knew and it did not affect my daily activity, I still got good scores in every task, without performing salat I still remember I just performed salat once a day (subh) because I thought if I did not perform it I would get something bad for the whole day Astaghfirullah. Then for now, it has been 22 days after ied Mubarak and I seldom performed salat again although in ramadhan I tried to perform salat 5 times a day and I have finished reading the whole Quran.
And then, I remember Imam said If you wanna know the result whether your effort works or not is in the end. For example, we are always performing salat, doing sunnah and reading Quran on ramadhan, but after ramadhan ends, you just leave your duty, all those things and doing bad things again. It means your effort in performing salat, doing sunnah etc. is not accepted because you don’t do it purely from your heart.
So, I don’t wanna be one of those people. Although it is on ramadhan or not. I still try to get closer and walk in His right path. Salat is the pillar of Islam. Let’s imagine, if you wanna build a house (in jannah)and you don’t have pillars, how could it be? Let’s make our best house in Jannah by doing salat. But what should I do?
These are 5 tips for you, remember it is about continuity and always recharge your soul by doing these.
1.       Taking a bath
It is not only about bathing as you do every day. Every part of your skin needs to water. Use shampoo and soap to clean up your body, and the dua before taking a bath is


2.      Performing salat taubah
It is 2 rakaat salat that you can perform whenever, especially if you have just committed a sin. After praying, don’t forget to ask His forgiveness. You may cry, you may share your sadness, your fear etc. remember, He is the Hearer.
3.      Performing fardh salat
If that’s the time for you to perform dhuhr, do it! Or that’s for ashr, do it! Force yourself to perform salat. Read the dua slowly and feel the energy. Try to focus on your salat. After salat, ask everything you want just to Allah. Allah always listen to your dua and everything in your heart.
4.      Trying to know the meaning of the dua in praying
One of the reason why you feel lazy and bored of performing salat is you don’t know the meaning. Imagine that you have to do something same 5 times a day in your life! So, to know the meaning is very important. There are many websites translating the dua and containing much Islamic information.
5.      Remembering Him in every inch of your life
    How to remember Him? Read Quran or dua in your spare time. Read the meaning and take the lesson from it. Always do better and try to do what He wants and avoid what He forbids.
It’s only simple things, but you need to always remember and practice. Hopefully this post can help you to be better and I always wait for your comments below and share this to help the others.
