from Khalid Baig's website "There are men who say, 'Our Lord! Give us (Your bounties) in this world.' But they will have no portion in the Hereafter. And there are men who say, 'Our Lord!

Fantastic article from Khalid Baig, the more I visit his website, Al Balagh, the more gems I pick up. Source: Al Balagh In one of his circulars Sayyidna Umar ibn Khattab, Radi-Allahu anhu, sent instructions to all his administrators saying, "In my opinion, salat (Islam's prescribed act of worship or prayer.
