Shaykh ul-Islam Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jawzīyah رحمه الله said:
“Prayer attracts provisions, preserves health, it defends against harm, repels diseases. It strengths the heart and illuminates the face. It gives delight to the soul and removes laziness.”
—[Zaad Al-Maad, (4/304)]
'Umar b. al-Khaṭṭāb رضي الله عنه said:
“A man must be like a young boy (friendly and joyous) towards his family but when the call of duty is given, he is found responding like a man.”
