Praying Regularly and in Congregation - الصلاة وصلاة الجماعة
Friday Sermon for Sheikh Ibrahim El-Shafie
خطبة الجمعة لفضيلة الشيخ إبراهيم الشافعي
Brothers in Islam, Prayer is full of blessings, mercies, and merits; it also raises one’s rank and increases one’s reward. Prophet Muhammad said: "if one is dwelling next to a running river where one is bathing five times a day, would one have any dirt left on his body?" the Companions said: he wouldn’t, then the Prophet said: "That is the example of the five obligatory prayers, whoever performs them wins Allah’s forgiveness (i.e. of minor sins) ".
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم "أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ أَنَّ نَهْرًا بِبَابِ أَحَدِكُمْ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ هَلْ يَبْقَى مِنْ دَرَنِهِ شَىْءٌ؟" قالوا لا يبقى من درنه شيء قال: "فَذَلِكَ مَثَلُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الخَمْسِ، يَمْحُو الله بِهِنَّ الخَطَايَا"
