QUICK LESSONS:
Follow teachings of beloved Prophet Muhammad, Stand in straight rows while praying

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith of Nu'man b. Bashir teaches us the importance of standing in straight rows when we pray to Allah. This is because it shows respect and obedience to God, as well as unity among believers. The Prophet Muhammad used to demonstrate how this should be done by straightening an arrow with his followers until they learnt it from him. He also warned them that if they did not stand in straight rows during prayer, then Allah would create dissension amongst them - meaning disagreement or conflict between people who are supposed to be united in faith and worshiping the same God. This hadith reminds us of the importance of following the teachings of our beloved Prophet Muhammad and being mindful of our actions when we pray so that we can show respect for God and unity among believers.
