Why has Allaah created us?
Answer
To worship Him alone and to worship no other besides Him.
Nifaq is of 2 types:
1. nifaq [hypocrisy] of belief
2. nifaq of action
[019:048] “And I (ibrahim) shall turn away from you (his father)
and from those whom you invoke besides Allâh. And I shall call
upon my Lord and I hope that I shall not be unblest in my
invocation to my Lord.”
The excellence of the prayer and its wiping away of sins and evil deeds
From Aboo Hurairah radi allahu anhu who said that i heard Allah's
Messenger sallallahu alayhe wa sallam say: do you think that if
there was a river at the door of one of you and he bathed in it five
times a day, would any dirt remain upon him? they said, no dirt
would remain upon him. He said, that is how it is with the five
daily prayers, through them Allah washes away the sins." [al-
Bukhari and Muslim]
From Uthmaan radi allahu anhu, who said that Allah's Messenger
sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said, there is no muslim upon whom
the obligatory prayer becomes due, so he perfects the wudhu,
humility and attentiveness [khushu] and the bowing [ruku] except
that it is an expiation of the sins that is coming before it as long as
he does not commit major sins. This applies all the time. [Muslim]
