Calendar is the pilgrimage season where many Muslims go to
Mecca, the holiest city of Islam. However, if a Muslim is

"Hadhrat Abu Zar (Radhiyallaho anho) narrates that once the Holy Prophet
(Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) came out of his house. It was autumn and the
leaves were falling off the trees. He caught hold of a branch of a tree and its
leaves began to drop in large number. At this he remarked, '0, Abu Zar!
(Radhiyallaho anho) when a Muslim offers his salaat to please Allah, his sins are
shed awav from him just as these leaves are falling off this tree."

"Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Radhiyallaho anho) narrates that once

the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) asked his companions,
'Do you believe that dirt can remain on a person bathing five times
a day in a brook running in front of his door?' 'No', replied the
companions, 'No dirt can remain on his body.' The Prophet
(Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) remarked: 'So, exactly similar is the
effect of salaat offered five times a day. With the Grace of Allah. it
washes away all the sins

Abdullah bin Amr (Radhiyallaho anho) narrates that once the

Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) while talking about salaat said: ,
salaat "shall on the Day of Judgement, be a light for him, an
argument in his favour, and a means of his deliverance. Whereas
there will be no light, no defence and no deliverance from doom for
him who does not guard his salaat, and he shall meet the fate of
Qaroon ,Pharoah, Haamaan and Ubbay bin Khalaf."
