Prayer is the indispensable life of the heart BY AHMAD *ABD AS-SALAAM

PRAYER IS THE INDISPENSABLE LIFE OF THE HEART

He says

I have contemplated on the state of our prayer and that of many of those who pray. I found a close relationship between failing to take the full advantage of prayer and all of its meanings, and the current conditions of the Islamic nation and the crisis it faces; rather, the social and moral crises, psychological and military defeatism and so on.

By the same token, the conditions of everyone in his prayer are related very much to the goodness of his conditions and conduct.

 The more one excels in and perfects his prayer, the more excellent his conditions and conduct will be and vice versa. One may ask: How is that?! Answering such question may be as follows: Actually, prayer is a way of life.

 It is the highest rank of Al-‘Ubodiyyah (true submission and servitude) to Allah

The Almighty. The prayer that is done in perfect submissiveness is an essential element of one’s success in this life and the life to come.

Allah The Almighty says: {Successful indeed are the believers, those who offer their Salat (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness.} [Surat Al-Mu’minun 23:1-2]
