Have you ever wondered what the purpose of your life is?
Ever thought that maybe there was something absent from your existence?
Do you ever lay awake wondering what this is all for???
If the above is true, and you believe you’re a Muslim, consider the words of your lord,
"And I [God] did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me" (Al Quran 51:56)
Great news, you just got your answer!
No fancy arguments, no lengthy lectures but if you are from amongst those who choose not to pray, then you are not in the state of Islam, as per the words of our Prophet, (Upon Whom Be Peace), who said: "Verily, between man and polytheism and disbelief is abandonment of the prayer." (Sahih Al Muslim)
You’re probably thinking, what gives this website the right to tell me if I am in the fold of Islam or not. Right? Well, this is where we say, this is the view of Allah and His Messenger, not us, hence it’s their statements that we bring to you. We are sure you are a great person, we are sure you even have many noteworthy Islamic values, all we are saying is that Allah prescribes what he identifies as Islam, and he has established Islam upon the prayer, hence he said: "Guard strictly the (five obligatory) prayers" (Al Quran 2:238)
So if you have abandoned the prayer, and yet want to be a Muslim, it's time you started praying! No more, future resolutions. No more, I am still young. No more, when I am older. No more, I am not ready for it. No more excuses! Just Go Pray Before You are Prayed Upon – Let’s Just Go Do It
Now, if you’re ready to start praying, and accept the FACT that to be a Muslim requires one to pray, great news, it’s very very easy!
The basics of prayer are very simple. Nevertheless, feel free to navigate through the downloads provided on ‘how to pray’, which will take you through all the key considerations you need.
The main thing is, make the conviction in your heart that you want to do it, and then set about the journey of learning the prayer again if you have forgot it, or, simply start praying again. The key in walking this path to fulfilling the purpose of life is remembering that many obstacles will come your way, but they are from Satan, and can be overcome very simply; just keep reminding yourself of the words of your creator, as were relayed by the Messenger of Allah, who said:
"Almighty Allah says, I treat my slave (man) according to his expectations from Me, and I am with him when he remembers Me….and if he walks towards Me, I run unto him."
Now establishing the prayer is very simple, however if it has been some time since you have prayed, worry not, help is at hand.
The first thing we have to remember is that, we can pray pretty much anywhere, as our Prophet, Upon Whom Be Peace Said; "The whole earth has been made for me a pure and clean mosque" (Bukhari)
With this great freedom to pray at home, work, football, Uni etc, what this means is we only have to be concerned about two things; firstly our state, i.e. our purity, and secondly the time, and both are covered in the; 'JGDI Prayer Guide' accessed via the box below, just click 'open'.
Now, you may have lots and lots of questions that you want answering, and therefore we have generated a FAQ page for you. But what is more, we have managed to get together lots of people to help you learn the basics of prayer.

Your lord, Allah, The Magnificent said, as expressed by his Messenger, Muhammad (Upon Whom Be Peace),
"O son of Adam, as long as you call upon Me and put your hope in Me, I have forgiven you for what you have done and I do not mind. O son of Adam, if your sins were to reach the clouds of the sky and then you would seek My forgiveness, I would forgive you. [Hadith Qudsi]
Welcome Back Dearest Muslim, We Have Missed You!
About us
Just Go Do It is a campaign that has been brought together by Mercy Mission; a movement at the heart of which is the emergence of a world where every Muslim is able to live faithfully to their belief, building an exemplary Islamic society that benefits humanity.
Helping people help others is a core driver of the Mercy Mission movement, and this campaign has emerged through a significant investment by the movement and support from its partners. The collaborative that emerged to deliver this campaign, was brought together on the recognition and affirmation of the words of Allah Jala Wa A’la;
"Co-operate in good and piety and do not co-operate in sin and transgression." [Al Quran, 5:2]
Our main partner, ProductiveMuslim.com is an endeavour to enhance the productivity of the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad, Upon Whom Be Peace, through their unique viewpoint and expertise.
Therefore recognising the journey to righteousness starts with the prayer, here we are, a union of Muslims seeking to reach out to those of our brothers and sisters, who have forgotten their obligation to their Lord, who created them from nothing.

You
If you got this far with reading through all our material, we would like to genuinely thank you. As Allah is our witness, our whole motivation for this website was to make people think and consider the weight of the prayer in Islam and why it is the Messenger of Allah said, "Verily, between a man and Shirk and Kufr is the abandonment of the Prayer." [Muslim]
Therefore the fact you have come this far with us, makes us very happy, and InshAllah if you are from those, or let us rephrase, were from those that didn’t pray, and have now come to realise you must, we also ask Allah to make your journey to establishing the prayer easy.
As we know, Allah has made it clear that for one to be considered a Muslim and eligible for Paradise he needs to be from those that prayed, hence Allah Subhana says in his book, in regards to when the people of hell are questioned;
"What has caused you to enter into the terrible torment?" They said: "We were not of those who used to pray." [Al Quran, 74: 42-43]
The issue of the prayer is critical in the life of a Muslim, and we are glad more Muslims now realise it.
So, a big thank you and we hope you can take advantage of this site, and call other people you know who don’t pray to it.
