“(O’ Allah!) We worship none but You; and we seek Your help alone.”

Objective of Creation

1.The basic objective of creating the jinns (devils) and human beings is that they should worship Almighty Allah (and submit to His Orders). (51:56).

2.Worshipping and obeying others by setting up partners or rivals for Allah Almighty is like rebelling against Him, since He alone created us and provided livelihood. Consequently, it is an unpardonable crime (Shirk).

SHIRK

“ Of course, Allah (Almighty ) will not forgive that partners be set up for Him.”(4:48,116)

“ Indeed, shirk ( setting up) partners is the greatest crime.” (31:13)

“ Therefore, any one who hopes to meet His Lord

(on the Day of Judgement)…, he must not associate any one

with Him in worship (and obedience).” (18:110)

3. Prayers (Sala’t):These are the prayers with which a Muslim is distinguished from a non –Muslim. It is the Pillar of Islam.

4. The Holy Prophet Said:

a) “ The Prayers are the pillar, and Jihad is the apex (top) of Islam.”

(Ahmad, Tirmizi, Ibn-e-Majah---Mishkatt:26)

b) “ Who so ever believes in Allah (Almighty) and His Messenger

(Muhammad) (peace be upon him), establishes prayers & observes

fasts during the month of Ramadan,(pays zakat &performs

Hajj)*… it is upon Allah to admit him to the Paradise…which has

100 (top-most) grades, prepared for those who fight in the Way of

Allah…When ever you ask Allah, ask Him about Al-Firdaus,

which is the central and the best part of Paradise—at the top of it

is the Throne of Allah and from it emerges the Rivers of Paradise.”

(Al-Bukhari:2637) (Al-Bukhari:8)

5.RESPONSIBILITY of the ISLAMIC GOVERNMENT

It is the responsibility of the Islamic Government to establish prayers, order the payment of zakat, enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, as stated in 22:41
