Follow in footsteps of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Emulate him in all aspects of life & strive for closeness with Allah Almighty & His pleasure through acts of worship such as prayer .

This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to offer his prayers. It was narrated by Abu Qilabah, who said that he saw Abu Sulaiman Malik al-Huwairith come to their mosque and say that he would offer prayer, but not for worshiping Allah, rather for showing them how he saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offering prayer. He then described that after the last prostration in the first rak’ah, he would sit down and then stand up again before starting a new rak’ah. This hadith teaches us that we should follow in the footsteps of our beloved Prophet ﷺ when it comes to praying and performing other acts of worship as well. We should strive to emulate him in all aspects of our lives so as to gain closeness with Allah Almighty and His pleasure.
