BENEFITS OF SALAT

Shalat is the form of worship defination of shalat is the worship and glorification of Allahby specific words and action commencing with Allahuakbar and end it with salam.

There are many benefits of shalat one of it,s benefits is that it avoiding us from sin.It can be prove by surah Ankaboot verse 45:

اتْلُ مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ ۖ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنكَرِ ۗ وَلَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ

(Recite (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) what has been revealed to you of the Book (the Qur'an), and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat). Verily, As-Salat (the prayer) prevents from Al-Fahsha' (i.e. great sins of every kind, unlawful sexual intercourse) and Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism, and every kind of evil wicked deed) and the remembering (praising) of (you by) Allah (in front of the angels) is greater indeed [than your remembering (praising) of Allah in prayers. And Allah knows what you do.)

When we perform our shalat its only will approches us to the good deeds not sin.Next,shalat will purified our heart and soul .It is the fitrah to our body to have food as a soure of nutrient to keep our body stay healthy so do our soul.Soul need our prayer as a "food" to keep our heart and soul to Allah (continous communication with its creator).When there is comunication its will be purified and all action are directing to the good deeds.Thirdly,shalat will form dicipline in human.As we know shalat has its own way of performing it sohuman are compulsory to do or follow the rule carefully which start wit takbir and end with tahyat and when we pray in jemaah we have to follow the imam.Like sunnah Rasulallah one said:

(Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle fell from a horse and got injured so he led the prayer sitting and we also prayed sitting. When he completed the prayer he said, "The Imam is to be followed; if he says Takbir then say Takbir, bow if he bows; raise your heads when he raises his head, when he says, 'Sami' a-l-lahu Liman hamida say, 'Rabbana laka-l-hamd', and prostrate when he prostrates.")

Furthermore,shalat show that every single human in this world are the same to Allah,there is no exception of perfomce shalat Allah make it a MUST to everyone from rich to poor and from old to young.For example in jemaah prayer muslim need to stand side by side in one shaf doesn't matter if you are in different race or status.Not just that,sholat put peace and tranquility in our heart and mind.Human are always faces with problem so by prayer can calm us and help open our heart and mind to find the solution to our problem.Remember everything happen is by the will of Allah,thus to him we seek for help.Like in surah Al-Ma'aarij 19-23 :

19. ۞ إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا20.إِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا21.وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا22.إِلَّا الْمُصَلِّينَ2.3الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَائِمُونَ

(19.Verily, man (disbeliever) was created very impatient;20.Irritable (discontented) when evil touches him;21.And niggardly when good touches him.22.Except those who are devoted to Salat (prayers).23Those who remain constant in their Salat (prayers);)

In addition sholat also is the form of rememberence to Allah as human being.We have 5 times prayer a day,we start our day wit sholat and end our day with shalat. Shalat also at the same time teach us train us to concentrate .When we pray we need to focus and concentrate in other word khusyu'.So it directly teach us to stay focus in everything that we do.Finally,shalat also is a form of exercise.This is because we do different kind of movement when performing shalat

The conclusion is that shalat gives us many benifit in every single side.It help us built our character,relationship with Allah and many more.So as a muslim iit is compulsory for us to perform shalat which is the way for us to show how much we love our Allah.

Summary:

Shalat will avoiding us from sin,form dicipline in human,purified heart and soul,put peace and tranquility,souce of rememberence to allah,put generalism,form of exercise.
