Assalamualaikum wbt
"There is an irony in how we recite Surah Al-Asr when we want to rush through prayer when it is a Surah that warns us that we are running out of time."
Yes, this is what I stumbled upon while I was browsing through the Tumblr, and it indeed, INDEED, had opened up my eyes, my mind and my heart. I thought that this is the most accurate statement ever. It was like a slap to me when I was reading this. How coincident is that with what we are doing every time we pray?
The phrase I found above teach me this:
Do not rush on your prayer. No matter how late you are to go to somewhere or how late you are to do something, if possible, try to not rush on your prayer. Perform your solat in a way that you could feel calm from every movement in it, that you could understand the message that wanted to be conveyed to you through the verses that you recited. Solat is meant for you to rest. Solat is meant for you to be relaxed. Solat is meant for you to regain your energy. It is a gift given by Allah swt for us to communicate with Him no matter hard or easy. It has been stated in the Quran, says that only through prayer we find solace and guidance/help. So just take your time and feel the calmness through it.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,
"By time. Indeed, mankind is in loss. Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience" [Surah Al-Asr, Ayat 1-3]
And through the verses in Surah Al-Asr, it remind us on how important the time is. As the saying goes, time is gold. For a normal person, gold is a very valuable thing one can keep and invest on. When time is equaled to gold, it is a symbolic of how much we must value the time that we have as much as we value the gold, for we do not know, and will never know what we are going to face the next second of our life.
Value your time.
Avoid procrastinating.
And you will see your ibadah running smoothly.
Without the rush.
That's the significance between time and solat.
The beauty of what Allah has arranged.
