Affection and AbhorrenceThe conclusion

The verses 22 to 34 of Surah Maarij mention 9 attributes and then those who have them have been given the glad tidings of Paradise. The attributes are:

The uninterrupted daily prayers, the share given to the needy from one’s wealth, belief on the Day of Judgment, the fear of God’s punishment, keeping oneself protected from sins, fulfillment of trust, keeping one’s promises, giving true witness and keeping the rituals and essence of the prayers intact. The verse35 then says:

“Such shall dwell in the gardens with honor.”

This des c r i p tion includes every thing material and spiritual. The point to note is that these 9 features begin with the daily prayers and end with it. The difference is that in the first case the continuity is mentioned and in the end it speaks about protection which has been explained as keeping the rituals and spirit of daily prayers intact for they keep it from being contaminated and strengthen the essence. They also remove those impediments that prevent the prayers from being accepted e.g. partaking banned food, drinking alcohol, backbiting, etc.

The good deeds too begin with the daily prayers and end on it. It is a coincidence that the first thing to be compulsory at every phase of time is the daily prayers and remains so till the end of life.

Protecting prayers is a two sided affair. A person protects it from becoming refutable and the prayers also protect him from destruction and mischief.

We end this discussion with a hadith from the Messenger in which he said:

“The prayers will be like a divine light, knowledge and enlightenment for whoever protects it and will be source of his salvation on the Day of Judgment.” (1)
