Most beloved deed

Wednesday, January 17, 2024

أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى وَقْتِهَا
Transliteration

Ayyu-l-'amali ahabbu ila-llah? Qala: as-salatu 'ala waqtiha.

Translation

[I asked]: What deed is most beloved to Allah? He said: Prayer at its time. I said: Then what? He said: Kindness to parents. I said: Then what? He said: Jihad in the path of Allah.

Narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud·Sahih al-Bukhari 527, Sahih Muslim 85
Reflection

The order itself is the lesson: salah on time, parents, then jihad. Everything that matters begins with a prayer said when it should be.
