Often we miss or delay our obligations as Muslims, one of which is the prayer service. Satan’s temptations tend to lead people to place greater importance on worldly satisfactions and comforts.
Though prayer is not a burden but a need for a believer to achieve a better spiritual and psychological state. Prayer also brings closer the relationship between God and his servants.
Here are five easy ways so you don’t miss or procrastinate prayers.
5 Tips for Not Missing Prayer Times
1. Understand the importance of prayer
We must understand that prayer is commanded by Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala as a way to achieve inner peace and not as a burden but as a means to help and guide one’s life.
In prayer a Muslim recites a prayer for today and in the future. It strengthens the relationship between God and his servant. Prayer is also the first thing that will be asked or held accountable when the day of judgment arrives.
2. Create a prayer time reminder
In this technological era, almost everyone has a smart phone, where it is very easy to apply reminders or alarms on their cellphones.
You can download the adhan application and set it as a reminder at every prayer time. You can also use small notes and put them in every place you spend time in, such as your work or private room. So you will no longer miss prayer.
3. Prioritize prayers between daily plans
Living daily life, working, doing chores, etc., as Muslims sometimes we tend to forget and lose sight of what is more important than the affairs of the hereafter.
What we need to ask ourselves is why should we prioritize worldly affairs over our prayers?. Every human being should plan their day with prayer Because that’s the main thing so that humans don’t go wrong in living life in this world.
4. Just give your time 5 minutes
If you feel lazy to leave only 5 to 10 minutes in prayer, why can you spend hours in front of a cellphone screen, surfing social media, watching TV and other time-wasting activities.
Even though prayer only takes up a certain percentage of your daily time the benefits are not only for today but for your future.
5. Pray and ask Allah to make things easier
If problems always come, through prayer we pray for help from Allah to make things easier.
Through prayer and prayer, the motivation to live life despite being forged by so many trials we will not be afraid to face them.
Hopefully some of the tips above can help you find the determination and motivation to always perform the obligation of prayer and not miss it so that we all get blessings and rewards in this world and the hereafter by Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala, Insha Allah.
