To perfect your salah, one of the things

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

that's actually very important is to understand why

00:00:05 --> 00:00:06

you are praying.

00:00:07 --> 00:00:08

Who is it benefiting?

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

Now once we understand that Allah

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

is a samad,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

He is independent

00:00:16 --> 00:00:16

of our worship.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is perfect in every

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

way and he does not need us to

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

pray. So we ask mister helps the question,

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

why am I praying? And the answer to

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

that is because it benefits me.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

The person who takes away the most from

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

salah is myself.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

Now you tell yourself that if I pray

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

it will benefit me and if I don't

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

pray it will harm me.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

This gives you the motivation.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

It may be a little self centered,

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

but it gives you the motivation that this

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

is for my benefit.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:52

It will help me. It will help me

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

be a good person to the people that

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

are around me.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

So to perfect your salah, understand why you

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

are praying.
