Advice to Youth Regarding the Break and Maintaining the Prayer

Question:
In conclusion of this episode, may Allah bless you. One of the brothers says: If you could direct a brief word to the youth during this break, and how to utilize it in what is beneficial, especially maintaining prayer.

Answer:
Yes, we advise the young Muslims to maintain obedience to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), especially the obligatory acts and their times. Since this is obligatory upon them and a duty imposed on them, they should not take advantage of the break to waste the prayer, delay it from its times, or abandon the congregational prayer. They should maintain their prayers. It is obligatory to maintain the prayer; it is obligatory for the Muslim to maintain his prayer. The prayer comes after tawhid (the oneness of Allah), after the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. It is the second pillar of the pillars of Islam. Yes.
