The second pillar of Islam is Salah and

00:00:02 --> 00:00:05

normally people translate Salah into prayer I personally

00:00:05 --> 00:00:09

don't think prayer is an appropriate translation of

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12

the Arabic word Salah to pray means to

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15

besiege, to ask for help and In Salah

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

besides asking for help we praise Allah subhanaw

00:00:18 --> 00:00:21

taala, we glorify him We are gaining guidance

00:00:21 --> 00:00:21

for him.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

So I prefer calling Salah as sort of

00:00:24 --> 00:00:29

programming towards righteousness for example If the Imam

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

after Surah Fatiha, he reads Surah Maidah, chapter

00:00:31 --> 00:00:35

number 5, verse number 90 O you who

00:00:35 --> 00:00:43

believe Most certainly intoxicants and gambling Dedication of

00:00:43 --> 00:00:50

stones, divination of arrows Are an abomination from

00:00:50 --> 00:00:55

Satan's handiwork Abstain from it that you may

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58

prosper So here we are being programmed that

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

alcohol is prohibited, gambling is prohibited, fortune-telling

00:01:01 --> 00:01:04

is prohibited, idol worship is prohibited We are

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

being programmed towards righteousness
