When we begin any task by saying “bismillah: (In the Name of Allah), we dedicate it to Allah to get His blessings. We are His creation, and all our salah, our sacrifices, our whole lives, and our death are in His hands.
Salah is the most important and greatest of the Islamic pillars of action. In fact, it is the backbone of Islam, the symbol of faith, and the greatest of its bodily characteristics. One who abandons it – denying its obligation – is a disbeliever outside of the fold of Islaam. And we do not know of any difference of opinion regarding that among the scholars of the People of the Sunnah.
