The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his progeny)
said: “The first thing that Allah made obligatory upon my
Ummah was the five prayers; and the first thing from their
acts of worship that shall be taken up will be the five
prayers; and the first thing that they will be questioned
about will be the five prayers.”

Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir (peace be upon him)
advised: “We command our children to offer
prayers when they are five years old, so you too
order your children to offer prayers (but only)
when they are seven years of age.”

Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) narrates: One day the Messenger of Allah
(peace be upon him and his progeny) was seated in the mosque when a person
entered and began praying, but in a manner such that neither did he perform his
ruku’ (bowing), nor his sujood (prostration) in a correct manner. Observing this,
the Messenger of Allah commented: “(This person) pecks as a crow pecks.
Should he die and the state of his prayers be as they are now, he shall surely not
die upon my religion.”
Surah Luqman

7. Surah Luqman

Our Daily Prayers are not
just “communication with
our Creator”, but rather
they instill many lessons
and characteristic traits
within us…

Unity: Congregational Prayers
Moral and Sound Lifestyle: Clothing, etc. for Prayers
Obedience: Pray how the Prophet Taught
Hygiene: Wudhu, Ghusl, Tayammum, etc…
Focus and Sincerity: Presence of Heart
Surah Luqman

Lessons to Learn from Verse 17
1. One of the most important responsibilities of parents in regards to their
children is to advise and encourage them to pray. ( ‫یا‬ّ‫نى‬ُ‫ب‬‫م‬ِ‫ق‬َ‫أ‬‫الة‬‫الص‬ )
2. Train your children to be believers and religions people by encouraging
them to perform the prayer, and through encouraging the good and
forbidding the evil, train them to act responsibly in society. ( ‫یا‬ّ‫نى‬ُ‫ب‬‫أقم‬
‫الة‬‫الص‬‫وامر‬‫بالمعروف‬ )

10. Surah Luqman
Lessons to Learn from Verse 17
3. Raise the level of Islamic awareness of your children to such a degree
that they themselves can determine and define what is good and bad and
are able to recognize it on their own without your supervision. ( ‫یا‬ّ‫نى‬ُ‫ب‬-َّ‫و‬
‫ر‬ُ‫م‬‫ا‬-َّ‫و‬َّ‫ه‬ْ‫ن‬‫ا‬ )
4. After the teachings of where we have come from and where we are
going, the most important act of worship which a Muslim can perform is
the prayers. ( ‫أقم‬‫الة‬‫الص‬ )
