BUSY? Don't have time to pray or other worship to Allah SWT? Let us consider the following two authentic hadiths.

Rasulullah Saw said: "Your Rab Tabaaraka wa Ta'ala, has said: 'O son of Adam, use your time to worship Me, I will surely fill your heart with a sense of fulfillment and fill your hands with rizki. O son of Adam, don't you stay away from Me (because when you do), I will undoubtedly make your heart full of misery and make your hands full of busyness."(Narrated by al-Hakim).

From Abu Hurairah, the Prophet SAW said: 'Verily Allah said,' O son of Adam, use your time only to worship Me, surely I will make your chest full of sufficiency and I will close your poverty. If you don't do it, then I will fill your hands with busyness and I will not close your poverty. '  (HR. At-Tirmidzi, Ibn Majah, Ahmad, and Al-Hakim.

Busy is usually related to working or looking for sustenance. Hopefully we don't forget to face the Supreme Giver of sustenance, namely Allah SWT, at least by carrying out our basic obligations as Muslims, namely prayer.

Busy work will be meaningless if Allah holds back the sustenance we seek.

"I (Allah SWT) do not want the slightest sustenance from them (humans) and I do not want them to feed me. Verily Allah, He is the Provider of sustenance who has very strong strength again. "  (Surah Adz-Dzariyaat: 57-58).

According to Ibn Taymiyyah in Majmu'ah Al-Fatawa, worship is everything that includes all things that are loved and approved by Allah Ta'ala, both in the form of speech and practice, both visible and hidden.

Thus, prayer, zakat, fasting, hajj, correct speech (honest), conveying mandates, being devoted to both parents, friendship, keeping promises, reciting the Koran, helping others, praying, making dzikir, reading al-Quran, and for example, including worship. The most important worship for Muslims is prayer as a religious pillar. Prayer is also the greatest dhikr. Walllahu a'lam.
