Al Quran

“Recite the book which has been revealed to you and establish Salah. Verily Salah prevents obscenity and evil. Without doubt, the remembrance of Allah is greatest. Allah knows what you do.” (Surah Al-Ankabut: 45)

Allah is saying to recite the holy book, Quran and establish Salah. If Salah is performed as it should be performed, it will surely prevent a person from committing sins. All aspects of Salah like recitation of Quran, rukuh, Sajdah, concentration etc must be carried out to the finest degree possible. Te more a person corrects these aspects, the more affective will his Salah be in preventing from sin. The less attention he pays to Salah, the longer will the Salah take to achieve his aim.

Al Hadith

Hazrat Abu Hurairah RA reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah S.A.W saying, “Say, if there were a river at the door of one of you in which he takes a bath five times a day, would any soiling remain on him?” They replied, “No soiling would be left on him.” He said, “That is the five (obligatory) Salat. Allah obliterates all sins as a result of performing Salat.”

(Al Bukhari Al Muslims)

Salat washes all our sins we have committed. That’s why Allah always say to read Salat as it is for our own good.
