Once Prophet Muhammad passed by a people who were suffering from some affliction.
"Why don't they make dua (pray) to Allah for protection," he said.

Importance of Salaat, Namaaz and Prayer In Islam
Some virtues stated too..
Ibn Salmaan says that he heard one of the companions of the Prophet Mohammad (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) narrating,Nifaq - Hypocrites In Islam - Part 2
Salamu `alaikum wa rahmatullah
My question is regarding nifaq (hypocrisy) since I am always confused about my actions. I want to ask who is a hypocrite: (1) one who keeps his ties strong with his belief but leaves Allah's way when Allah puts him into some trouble or (2) one who forgets about Allah in normal days but turns towards Allah when Allah puts him into some trouble, but when Allah takes him out of trouble he continues his previous life?
Please guide me in this situation as my behavior is always the second one and I am afraid I am a hypocrite. And are there any actions which I should do to confirm myself that I am not a hypocrite? May Allah reward you. As-salamu `alaykum wa rahmatullah.
Nifaq - Hypocrites In Islam - Part 1
By Abu Dawud and Al-Nisa
This topic is of extreme importance in our daily lives, as it reflects our behavior, our manners, our faith in Allah, and His teachings.
The word Hypocrisy is defined in Webster's dictionaries as: an act or a practice of feigning to be what one is not, or to feel what one does not feel; especially, the false assumption of goodness. Therefore, a hypocrite is a false pretender and dissembler to virtue or piety.
In the Islamic terminology, the word Hypocrisy is a substitute for 'Nifaq'. This word Nifaq has been mentioned in the Qur'an thirty-one (31) times in different forms such as: Nifaq; Munafiqoon; Munafiqat; Munafiqeen, and Nifaqan.

Kalimas In Islam
The Kalimahs came into existence to facilitate the easy memorising and learning of Aqeedah (beliefs). It has no Shar’ee compulsion as far as its memorising is concerned. When they came into existence is not known.
A true Muslim is someone who is completely aware of the meaning of the Kalima, proclaims it with sincerity and devotion, and acts and lives in accordance to its requirements.
How to perform Ghusl Bath in Islam
NOTE : ALL YOUR PRAYERS ARE INVALID IF YOUR GHUSL IS NOT CORRECT.
Ghusl means bath..
Before making Ghusl one should make Niyyah (intention) thus: - "I am performing Ghusl so as to become Paak." Without Niyyah, there is no Thawaab (reward) although Ghusl will be valid. Ghusl should be made in a place of total privacy and one should not face towards the Kiblah while making Ghusl. Ghusl may be performed standing or seated, preferably seated. Use sufficient water, don't skimp nor be wasteful. One should abstain from speaking while performing Ghusl. It is better not to read any Kalimah or Aayah while bathing. Be aware of these rules whilst making Ghusl.
