Praying at the Hour When Heaven's Gates Open

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to pray four rak'ah before Zuhr prayer and said that it was an hour when the gates of heaven were opened and his good deeds would rise to heaven.

'Abdullah bin As-Sa'ib (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah used to perform four Rak'ah prayer after the declining of the sun before Zuhr prayer and would say, "This is an hour at which the gates of heaven are opened, and I like that my good deeds should rise to heaven at that time". At- Tirmidhi.
وعن عبد الله بن السائب، رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله كان يصلى أربعًا بعد أن تزول الشمس قبل الظهر، وقال ‏ "‏إنها ساعة تفتح فيها أبواب السماء، فأحب أن يصعد لي فيها عمل صالح‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه الترمذي وقال‏:‏ حديث حسن‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Pray regularly especially during Salatul Asr or 'the afternoon prayer'. Strive for righteousness so your good deeds can ascend towards Allah during this time.

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abdullah bin As-Sa’ib tells us about a practice of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He used to perform four Rak’ah prayer after the declining of the sun before Zuhr prayer. This is known as Salatul Asr or ‘the afternoon prayer’ in Islamic tradition. The Prophet ﷺ said that this was an hour at which the gates of heaven are opened and he liked that his good deeds should rise to heaven at that time. This hadith teaches us about how important it is for Muslims to pray regularly and especially during this special hour when Allah opens up His gates for our prayers and supplications to reach Him directly. It also encourages us to strive for righteousness so our good deeds can ascend towards Allah during this time.
