Importance of Namaz Time:
Namaz is a formal and important obligation of Islam. It is necessary for every Muslim to know the importance and the benefits that are related to the namaz. To perform this obligatory religious duty a Muslim must know the schedules of namaz time. In this article namaz and namaz times are briefly discussed.
What is Namaz Meaning:
Namaz is the ritual prayer performed by Muslims five times a day. Muslims bow down in front of Allah Almighty five times a day to worship Him.
Salah was made compulsory to Muslims in the night of Mi’raj. ALLAH almighty cited the significance and importance of namaz many times in the Holy Quran.
Basically namaz is the process of purifying one’s soul and heart. We stand in front of ALLAH (SWT) for observing the religious obligation and to seek his mercy and forgiveness for the sins we commit in our lives.
At the prayer time Muslims meet each other in the mosque to perform the prayer in the congregation (Jma’at) and they come to know about the problems of other Muslims. It is necessary for Muslim men to perform the Salah at mosque with Jma’at instead of performing alone as it 27 times more rewarding.
