Asr Prayer

Allah and his messenger have repeatedly ordered Muslims to establish namaz. Every namaz has its own speciality but the namaz Allah has ordered to take special care is Asr. Allah says:

"Guard strictly your prayers, and your middle prayer, and stand before Allah in devoutness." (Al-Baqarah 238)

Family and wealth are dear and important to everyone. But if anyone neglects their salah due to them then he is a sinner and sinners go to hell. Worldly temptation, family, wealth etc should be kept aside when the time for namaz comes near esp. asr. 

"So woe to the worshippers who are neglectful of their prayers." (al-Maa’oon 4-5) 

The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Whoever misses the Asr prayer, it is as if he has lost his family and wealth." (Bukhari and Muslim) 

It is related from Aboo al-Mulaih Aamir Bin Usaamah bin Umair Bin al-Hadhalee, who said: "We were with Buraydah in a battle on a cloudy day, and he said: 'Be early with the Asr prayer, for the Prophet said: 'Whoever leaves the Asr prayer, then his actions will be invalidated.'" (Al-Bukhari)
