87- AND WE GAVE REVELATIONS TO MOSES AND HIS BROTHER, TO HAVE HOMES IN EGYPT, AND TO MAKE YOUR HOMES QIBLA, STEADFAST IN SALAH, AND GIVE THE BELIEVERS GOOD NEWS.
Allah the Highest commanded Moses and Aaron to have homes in Egypt, and to make their homes Qibla, that is to make it their place of worship and to pray in any direction in the house.
Before Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, was sent to mankind, the believers worshipped in a place of worship, called a temple or a church. Allah the Highest allowed the Muslims to pray anywhere that does not have impurities like faeces or urine or blood, although praying in a mosque is better. Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, said about the things he and the Muslims allowed, which were not allowed beforehand: “The earth has been made a place of prayer and clean, then whenever the time of Salah comes, I clean myself and I pray”. (A: 2; 222)
The Children of Israel feared to be seen by pharaoh and his men, when they were gathering to pray. Therefore; Allah the Highest allowed them to pray in their homes, but told them to be steadfast in Salah. To be steadfast in Salah has been discussed in Sorah Al-Baqarah Ayah 3 in detail.
The Salah is the prim form of worship, a contact with Allah the Highest; it is also a means of seeking help and assistance from Allah the Highest. Our contact with Allah the Highest and being with Him means that He is also with us. This is how the Salah give the believers comfort and support, Allah the Highest said: “YOU, WHO BELIEVE, SEEK HELP IN PATIENCE, PERSEVERANCE AND SALAH, FOR ALLAH IS WITH THOSE WHO ARE PATIENT AND PERSEVERE”. (S: 2 A: 153)
Mohamed prayer and peace upon him used to pray the Salah whenever something worried him or troubled him. At times of difficulties when the time for Salah comes, he used to ask Bilal to say Azan, saying to him: “Comfort us with it (the Salah) Bilal”.
Allah the Highest likes to give the true believers who rely upon Him good news of:
- That their difficulties in this life will be relieved, for they have Allah’s support.
- Of the great reward awaiting them in the Hereafter.
Allah the Highest said: “AND OF THEM THOSE WHO SAY: “OUR LORD GIVE US SOME GOODNESS IN THIS LIFE AND SOME GOODNESS IN THE HEREAFTER, AND PROTECT US FROM THE PUNISHMENT OF THE FIRE”. (S: 2 A: 201)
