The Quran talks about
salah. In English,
people normally translate salah as prayer.
Prayer,
if you open the dictionary means to beseech,
to ask for help.
According to me, prayer is not the appropriate
translation
of the Arabic word salah.
What we do dua after the salah,
that is
prayer.
The salah is far superior to praying.
In the salah,
besides asking for help, we are getting guided
by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. The Arabic word
salah
comes from the root word
salah,
means connection.
The servant connects with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
So salah means connecting to God. I call
it the programming towards righteousness.
When we pray,
we read Surah Fatihah. After that, Imam is
telling us.
He's giving us guidance.
we are being programmed towards righteousness.
we are being programmed towards righteousness.
