PRAYER OF FEAR.

Prayer of fear

So great an importance was given by Islam to prayer that even in battle and place of fear prayer must be said towards the remembrance of the Almighty, who alone can dispel all calamities. The Holy Prophet himself, with his devoted followers, used to pray and prostrate before the Glorious Allah in the midst of enemies. About this prayer the Quran says: “When you are on a journey on the earth there is no blame on you if you shorten the prayer if you fear that those who disbelieve will cause you distress, for the disbelievers are your open enemies. When thou are among them and keepest up the prayer for them, let a party of them stands up with thee and let them take their arms, then when they have prostrated themselves let them go to you rear and let the party who have not prayed come forward and pray with thee.” (4 : 101Q.) In case of a great danger it is permitted to say prayer either on foot or while riding. The Quran says: “But if you are in danger, then say you prayers on foot or on horseback.” (2: 239Q.) This is prayer by I’Ma, i.e., by signs and gestures.
