In the previous article, The Jews came to the Prophet Muhammad and asked him about the creation of the heavens and earth.
He said to them: Allah has created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six days.
The Jews said: ‘you would have answered correctly, if you added: and then He rested on the seventh day, the Sabbath’.
Upon hearing that, the Prophet Muhammad was furious.
The Prophet Muhammad was very angry upon hearing that.
It is a great insult to Allah when one says that He rested or rests or will rest.
But, what Allah has commanded His Prophet Muhammad to do in order to get rid of his angry?
Allah commanded him to tolerate what the Jews said.
The verse 50:39 says:
Therefore, O Muhammad, bear with what they say and bear with the lies of the Jews.
So endure patiently what the Jews say about Allah rested on the seventh day.
And glorify with praise of your Lord,
Perform prayers with praise of your Lord, before the rising of the sun,
In other words, perform the Morning Prayer, and before the sunset, that is to say, perform both the midday and the afternoon prayers; and hymn the praise of your Lord.
This means that performing the regular prayers is an effective way to get rid of angry.
In addition, the verse 50:40 says:
And glorify your Lord at night; hymn His praise when you perform the two evening prayers,
And glorify your Lord after prostrations.
In other words, perform supererogatory prayers after the obligatory ones.
It is also said that it means the actual uttering of glorifications at these times, with continuous praise.
It is said that the regular prayers are the Muslims’ relief from depression, sadness, despair, angry, furiousness, irritability etc. For this reason, the suicidal rate and tendency in the poor Muslims’ community is extremely low in comparison to the wealthy non-Muslims’ community.
