Why Should We Obey GOD?

Human life is bound with two system: Believing & Obeying.

1. There are Atheists who Believe that we are Created out of Nothing and Obeys their Desires! Fashion! Work! TV! Trends! Nation! Scientists! Philsophers! Leaders! and so on..
2. And We as a Muslim we Believes in GOD, His Messenger & Day of Judgement and Obeys our Religion, bybecoming a Muslim frees us from the service of creation and brings us to the service of only ALLAH alone.

So Why Shall We Have To Pray?

In this world, we openly believe in the moral values of thanking someone when they do us a favor or help us in some way. So why is it one rule for the people and another rule for the Supreme Power (GOD)? Is it not Him we are answerable to? Yet we tend to care what people think of us more.

So if we accept our morals and values, and the basic service to humanity, then we must also accept that we have to thank ALLAH for the gift of breathing, talking, and walking. We must thank Him for every ability we have – because we know and are fully aware, that all of it can be taken from us in a matter of seconds. And what better way to thank Him than the form of prayer?

In making it mandatory, ALLAH has only done us a favor, so that we may continue adding to our good deeds, as remembering Him is a Mercy in itself and also rewarding for us.

Have we ever thought of how busy our lives are? We are either rushing to go to work, to finish assignments, to do chores, and to have life sorted out; we are constantly on the run! Have we ever imagined that if ALLAH wanted, we could lose our job? We could lose our family? Our ability to function and think? It is due to His Grace that we get up in the morning, and it is due to His Grace that we sleep at night.

ALLAH does not need our prayers, so the question of prayer still remains. But if only we understood that the power of prayer is such that, though we gift it to ALLAH, for all His Mercy and Blessings, He gifts it back, allowing it to serve as the beacon guiding us on that Day of Judgement when no wealth, money, or children, will stand beside us.

So knowing that, we also understand that we must send our deeds forth, to serve as a light and support on the Day of Judgement, where we will be held accountable for all that we have done in this world. We know that everything we do here will either form benefits or punishment in the afterlife. It is all about prioritizing and being prepared.

Thank ALLAH, because thanking Him through compulsory prayer five times a day is sowing the seeds of reward that we will reap on that Day when none other than our deeds shall come to our aid.
