“Two will not be rejected, Supplication when the Adhan (call of prayer) is being called, and at the time of the rain”

Al-Hakim 2: 114, and Abu Dawud #2540, ibn Majah

In another hadith,

“When the prayer is called, the doors of the skies are opened, and the du’a is answered”

al-Tayalisi in his Musnad #2106, al-Sahihah #1413

“The one who recites the Qur’an and is skilled in doing so will be with the obedient and noble angels and the one who recites the Qur’an in hesitance due to difficulty will receive a double reward.”

Reported by Bukhaaree and Muslim

“He whose head was being crushed with a stone was one who learnt the Quran but never acted on it, and slept ignoring the compulsory prayers.”

Muslim

“There is a polish for everything that takes away rust; and the polish for the heart is the remembrance of Allah.”

Bukhari

“There is no time on Friday at which no Muslim would stand, pray and beg Allah for what is good but He would give it to him”

See The Excellence of Friday by Imam Ibn ul Qayyim al Jawziyyah

”Whoever prays like us and faces our Quibla and eats our slaughtered animals is a Muslim and is under Allah’s and His Apostle’s protection. So do not betray Allah by betraying those who are in His protection.”

Sahih Bukhari, Vol: 1, Hadith No: 386

“What would you think if there were a river running by the door of the house of anyone of you, and he bathed in it 5 times a day, everyday, would any trace of dirt be left on him?”

The people said:

“No, there would be no trace of dirt on him.”

The people said:

“This is like the 5 daily prayers, through which Allah cleanses you and washes away your past sins”

Bukhari and Muslim

“The best remembrance of God is ‘La ilaha illallahu.’”

Sunan Ibn Majah, Vol. 2, #3800

Note: This is the most brief statement capturing the essence of Islam: “There is none worthy of our worship and submission except God.”

“Teach me a word that i can say.”

The Messenger (Sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) told him to say:

‘There is none worthy of worship but Allah, Who has no partner, Allah is the Great, the Most Great, and praise is to Allah in abundance, glory is to Allah, Lord of the worlds. There is no power and no might but by Allah the Mighty, the Wise.’

The desert Arab said,

“That is for my Lord, but what about me?”

The Prophet told him to say:

‘O Allah forgive me, and have mercy on me, and guide me, and provide for me.’

(Sahih Muslim 4/2072, Abu Dawud reports the same Hadith with the addition: and when the Arab left, The Prophet of Islam said: “He has filled his hands with goodness.” 1/220)

“Whoever misses the ‘Asr prayer (intentionally) then it is as if he lost his family and property.”
