Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
Ibadat 24x7
by Shaykha Hisham Kabbani
It is so very very important to Allah (swt) that He ordered and obliged 50 salat a day, not one. Allah ordered the Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) to perform fifty prayers, which means continuous worship. Wa ma khalaqta al-jinn wal ins illa liy`abudun. "And I have not created the jinn and the men except that they should worship Me."[51: 56]
If it was fifty and if it was still fifty, we would have no time even to raise our heads. Fifty salat, every salat, if you performed it correctly takes fifteen minutes. Fifty salat by fifteen minutes is 750 minutes plus eating, plus wudu for fifty prayers. So what is left? That is meaning of the ayah Wa ma khalaqta al-jinn wal ins illa liy`abudun. [51: 56]
Allah said fifty prayers but what is kayfiyya al-salah- how it is done, what are arkan as-salah the procedures? We know Fajr has two sunnah rakat; Dhuhr has eight or four; four sunnah before, `Asr has two or four sunnah, Maghrib has two; and eleven rakat for 'Isha. Then you have salat ad-Duha, salat al-Awwabin, salat al-Ishraq, salat an-Najat, Salat al-Tahajjud. Then the fifty other prayers also have their sunnah!
So all of your time 24 hours is going to be occupied.
That is the verse ma khalaqta al-jinn wal ins illa liy`abudun ma ureedu minhum min rizqin wa ureedu an yu`imun. inna Allahu hua ar-razzaqa dhul quwwat il-mateen - "I do not desire from them any sustenance and I do not desire that they should feed Me." Allah can give you, you cannot give anything. Don’t think you are going to work for your children, bringing money. If Allah wants to close it---it is finished---nothing. Submit. Allah gives. Allah provides. So 24 hours you are going to be in continuous `ibadat through salat, prayer.
Allah tala gave Sayyidina Muhammad (Salla Allahu ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam) fifty salat but then with His mercy reduced it to five. But in the mizan, in the balance, the five salat are considered fifty. If we do our five prayers correctly with complete submission to Allah, complete presence (khush`u) then it as if we were peforming salat 24 hours a day, it is equal to fifty prayers. Then it will be written for us, in the mizan, Wa ma khalaqta al-jinn wal ins illa liy`abudun. You will be under the tajalli of that verse.
The key to the Mercy and Blessing of this verse for Allah to dress you with the blessings of this verse is five prayers which leads you to the fifty prayers which lead you to the verse of Qur’an: Wa ma khalaqta al-jinn wal ins illa liy`abudun.

and we still find it difficult to pray all five in one day.
