Namaz is one of the most important obligations which Muslims are obliged to offer 5 times a day. Maulana Tariq Jameel beautifully explained the importance of this obligation.
In this video Maulana Tariq Jameel explained how the companions of Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) understood the importance of Namaz. He also mentioned how companions not only took pride in namaz but also in the azaan (prayers to call).
He said that Bilal (Ra) became the first muezzin and because of it he will be the first one to enter Heaven along with the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
He further said that even during the battle of Karbala Imam Hussain (ra) and his followers prayed the namaz on their time despite the fight and killings. It indicates the how important they took this obligation.
Maulana Tariq Jameel said we should not only offer these obligatory prayers but should also pray the nawafil to get the maximum reward.
