Important Lessons for Every Muslim - 44

Lesson 44 - The conditions of salaah (prayer) - Part 1 The salaah is the greatest pillar of Islam after the shahadatayn. Whoever preserves their salaah has preserved their deen and whoever neglects it, has neglected their deen. The shuroot (conditions) of salaah are mentioned before the arkaan (pillars) and wajibaat (obligations) because they must be present before the prayer in order for the prayer itself to be correct. Definition of a condition: When it is non-existent it necessitates non-existence, but when it is existent, it does not necessitate existence. For example, the non-existence of wudu necessitates the non-exitance of the prayer, but the existence of wudu does not necessitate the existence of prayer (i.e. you don't always need to be praying if you have wudu, but without wudu you cannot pray).
