The Relationship Between Prayer And Social Behavior

The order to do prayers as Muslims know it was received by His Majesty the Prophet Muhammad (May Allah Honor Him) after the implementation of Isra' and Mi'raj. This important event of Isra and Mi'raj can only be received by those who have faith because logically the extraordinary event is difficult to accept by the sense of the human mind.

We are certainly very often stuff attending the warnings of Isra & this Mi'raj. Almost the average of kyai and preachers when filling the Tausiah in the warning event always alludes to the problem of establishing a five-time prayer. This is of course in harmony because it is essentially only a five-time prayer that is received by the Prophet Muhammad directly from Allah Almighty without going through the angel Gabriel. Apart from the order of establishing this five-time prayer, almost all the orders of worship received by the Prophet Muhammad (May Allah Honor Him) through the Angel Gabriel. Of course, this time the five prayers are very special because Allah directly conveys the commandment to the prophet.

Allah has said in Surah Al-ankaabut verse 45 as follows:


اتْلُ مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ ۖ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ ۗ وَلَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ
Means :
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 isgreater. And Allah knows that which you do.


From the verses above we can see that before we set up prayer we should learn first. Establishing that prayer is the knowledge that we need to study it, its ordinances and so on.

From the passage above we can also see that the prayers can prevent evil deeds and wrongdoing. But the fact in the field we find many people who do the prayer instead of doing nasty deeds and wrongdoing like stealing, corruption and so on. Why can this be? What is the wrong prayer? This fact is often the reason as if the Qur'an is wrong, but not so.

The people were just in the prayer stage. The Lord is commanded by Allah to pray not to pray. The meaning of establishing and working is, of course, different because it works only to the death of the obligation of prayer while establishing the prayer in addition to doing the prayer, there is a moral responsibility of how should the people who pray It. Because of this, we will keep all our behaviors to fit the values of the prayer itself. This is what the prayer is capable of preventing heinous deeds and wrongdoing.

So many moral messages in prayer so that when outside the prayer, we remain awake, namely Akhlaqul Karimah (in Arabic)

For example, before praying we require for Wudhu (Arabic) first. In one of the pillars of ablution is gargle, meaning that our mouth must be clean or holy from dirt. So outside of the prayer should also be in the case of the purity of the food that is unclean, meaning that the food that enters our mouth is the food gained in the halal ways that are following the guidance of Allah Almighty.

What do you know about the importance of praying in human life? Even later in the day of retaliation of the first thing that was done by Allah is prayer worship.

The Prophet Muhammad said, "The first charity that is at the top of a servant on the day of judgment is his prayer. If the prayer is good, well all the charity and when the prayer is broken, the whole of the amok. (Narrated by Tabhrani).

Friend of Muslims, therefore we as believers do not once leave prayers intentionally. If you can pray five times in congregation in the mosque, do other prayer prayers also because prayer is the key to heaven and able to erase the sins that happened before as long as we do not commit the major sins.

Thus the article on the relationship of prayer and societal behavior. Easily, we all belong to the servants of God who always obey Him and always get favors, blessings, gifts, and compassion.
