Is Tasleem a Salaam to the World? | Episode 10 | Secrets of Salah | The Hidden Gems of Prayer

You bow. You rise. You whisper words you’ve said a thousand times. But what if every motion of salah held its own key to khushoo’? In this series, go deeper into the language, the postures, and the presence of salah. Join Dr. Omar Suleiman to spend the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah exploring the most important aspect of your life and learning how to move towards ever-greater presence in your prayer.

Tasleem is the grand finale of salah—Jannah’s greeting rehearsed on Earth, where you draw peace from As-Salām and send it to the world. “As-salaamu ‘alaykum” to your right, then left, spreading the peace you just absorbed.

In this final episode of the series, Dr. Omar Suleiman unpacks why that salaam is followed by triple istighfar and the 33-33-34 rhythm of dhikr, touches upon the one regret every soul has after it passes, and comforts you with the one gift salah gives you that no other deed can replicate.

In this episode, Dr. Omar Suleiman traces every word of the greatest salawat of all time. Then, he spotlights the four most important things to ask for before you end your salah.

Series recorded at Shehzade Korkut Mosque in Antalya, Türkiye
