The Book Of Prayer: Salaat (Prayer) is one of the main obligations which Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) has ordained on His servants. It is the first act of worship decreed on the Muslim Nation (Ummah) by Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) and was ordained on the night of the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) ascension to the seven heavens. It is the second of the five pillars of Islam after the proclamation of the “Shahada” (the words of witness).
Prayer in Islam, is worship of Allah (SWT) the Almighty, Praising and Thanking Him, acknowledging His Sovereignty and committing oneself to obey and remember Him at all times. It is the central part of a way of life, which is based on submission to the Owner of all.
The Muslim must seek to remember Allah (SWT) at all times. He must be mindful that everything he is, everything he does, everything he knows and understands, is due to the Mercy of Allah (SWT). In acknowledging this, he remembers the fact that death lies in wait and he does not know when he will depart from this worldly life.
