The Islamic Prayer: The Prophet’s ﷺ Message

For a Muslim, prayer is the shade of the soul, an entire devotional framework around which more than a billion people center their lives. The Islamic prayer, salah, was taught to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ by God, and it has many benefits. It brings individuals closer to God, attunes humanity to nature’s rhythms, builds community, and offers a sense of purpose. Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy sheds light on the practice of prayer and why the Qur’an asks us to “be of those who prostrate.”
