Riyad as-Salihin 1286 (Book 11, Hadith 2) #37775
Prayer, Kindness and Jihad

SUMMARY: The most beloved action to Allah is performing prayer at its earliest fixed time, followed by kindness towards parents and then participating in Jihad in the Cause of Allah.

Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I asked the Messenger of Allah : "Which action is dearest to Allah?" He replied, "Performing As-Salat (the prayer) at its earliest fixed time". I asked, "What is next (in goodness)?" He said, "Kindness towards parents". I asked, "What is next (in goodness)?" He said, "To participate in Jihad in the Cause of Allah". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from Ibn Mas'ud speaks about the three most beloved actions to Allah. The first action is performing prayer at its earliest fixed time. This means that Muslims should strive to pray on time as it is a sign of obedience and submission to God's commands. The second action is kindness towards parents which includes showing respect, love, care and appreciation for them. Lastly, the third action mentioned is participating in jihad in the cause of Allah which refers to striving for justice and righteousness through peaceful means such as speaking out against injustice or helping those who are oppressed or marginalized. All these actions are important for Muslims as they demonstrate our commitment to living according to Islamic values and teachings.
