Prayer is this privileged moment when the servant finds himself in intimacy with his Creator. Five times a day. the Muslim sets out to meet his Lord to praise Him. Glorify him. Invoke Him and prostrate ourselves before Him, in all submission and humility. Each word and each gesture in this prayer has its meaning and symbolism.

Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya said: “Allah invites the monotheists to these five prayers out of mercy towards them. He has prepared for them various types of worship so that through every word and every deed and gesture. the servant gets his share of His gifts.”

It is only by understanding the spirit of Salat that the Muslim will be able to taste its flavor and benefit from its innumerable benefits in his daily life and in the afterlife. More than a subtle analysis of this relationship between the servant and his Master, a discovery of the soul of prayer, a true journey to the kingdom of meditation.

Prayer as it has rarely been described...as you may have never imagined...as we should all perform it.
