78. Salaah Says More About Your Character


When you are always late for Salaah, it says a lot about you and your character.

It shows that you lack discipline, internal strength, and integrity to be where you are supposed to be ‘on time’ for your most important appointments of the day, and you are not dependable.


No one likes to say about themselves that they are not dependable or lack discipline, but actions speak louder than words, and being late for salaah is the first warning that you are on a slippery slope towards being chronically late in everything else in your life.

Al-Hasan Al-Basri  said: 

"When salaah is the least of your concerns, then what is your most important concern? As much as you fix your Salaah, your life will be fixed. Did you not know that Salaah was equated with Success: ‘Come to Prayer, Come to Success.’ How can you ask Allah  for success when you are not responding to His right upon you?”

If you are wondering why there is a delay in your sustenance, in your marriage, in your work, in your health, look into your salaah: are you delaying it?

‘If we truly have faith in the unseen and have faith in the Messenger of Allah telling us that Allah wants us to meet Him 5 times every day in our salaah, then we should take Salaah more seriously.’

“And enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness.”
Qur’an: Chapter 20, Verse 132

Don't miss your Salaah at any cost.
