Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner is inquiring about the noble verse in which He, Blessed and Exalted is He, said:[Al-Baqarah 2:45]
Answer:
Yes, in times of hardship and distress, they sought help through prayer. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when a matter became difficult for him, would order Bilal to establish the prayer andMishkat al-Masabih 1253. The second matter is patience, not being distressed, not being bored, not losing patience, and waiting for relief from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and not despairing. Indeed, prayer is [Al-Baqarah 2:45] burdensome [Al-Baqarah 2:45-46] for those who do not have khushu' (humility); they feel constrained by the prayer, fidget, and complain about it, and they do not have humility in it. If they do not have humility, then humility is the spirit of the prayer. Yes.
