The first question on Judgement Day

Sunday, May 21, 1972

أَوَّلُ مَا يُحَاسَبُ بِهِ الْعَبْدُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ الصَّلَاةُ، فَإِنْ صَلُحَتْ صَلُحَ سَائِرُ عَمَلِهِ
Transliteration

Awwalu ma yuhasabu bihi-l-'abdu yawma-l-qiyamati min 'amalihi-s-salah, fa-in saluhat saluha sa'iru 'amalih.

Translation

The first thing the servant will be asked about on the Day of Resurrection, from his deeds, is the prayer. If it is sound, the rest of his deeds will be sound.

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah·Jami' at-Tirmidhi 413 (sahih)
