Ramadhan Day 21 -- Prayer Prohibits Immorality And Wrongdoing

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate 

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam. 

Why the masjids are full but nothing change in the people -- people still doing wrong -- lying, cheating, oppressing, breaking promises, not bashful, not dressing properly as Quran tells us?

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says that solat (prayer) prevents immorality and wrongdoing. 

 ٱتْلُ مَآ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱلْمُنكَرِ ۗ وَلَذِكْرُ ٱللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ ‎﴿٤٥﴾‏

Recite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah knows that which you do. (Quran, al Ankabut 26:45)

If solat is done  properly, with ikhlas (sincerity), humility, reverence, fear and conscious of Allah, then the benefits of this ayah will be realized. Otherwise our solat is mere form.

Quran recitation is the best remembrance (dhikr) and the best in solat. So, the more we understand and memorize Quran,  the more we are able to reap the benefits of reciting the Quran during solat. Let's begin study the Surahs we have been reciting during solat and continue learning and memorizing the remainder of the Quran, a few verses on daily basis. 

If you do this consistently everyday starting today, in shaa Allah by next Ramadhan, you will have a lot and you will experience a totally different Ramadhan next year. 

May Allah give us tawfiq. aameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam. 

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.

Wassalaam
