Topic > The Benefit of Prayer towards Muslims - 2001

The Benefit of Prayer towards Muslims Prayer (Salat) is one of the main obligations that Allah has ordained upon His servants. Prayer in Arabic means du'aa. In Islamic terms, it means worshiping Allah through some known and prescribed sayings and actions starting with Takbeer and ending with Tasleem. However, Takbeer is the Arabic term for the pharasi Allahu Akbar and Tasleem means the concluding part of the Muslim prayer, where one recites "Assalaaamu'alaykum wa rahmatu-Allah" once while looking to the right and once while looking to the left. Thus, prayer is one of the five basic requirements that a Muslim is obliged to perform and which is given the highest priority in the Holy Quran. Furthermore, prayer is also a religious observance that believers are required to perform throughout their lives, the times of which have been established. For example, praying five times a day is Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha'. There are many benefits of prayer described in the Holy Quran. It is enjoined on Muslims as an obligatory act by Allah, as can be seen from the following verses of the Holy Quran: “Establish regular prayers at the setting of the sun until the darkness of the night and the morning prayer.” (Al-Isra ',78) The results also demonstrate that the benefit of prayer towards Muslims involves human wisdom in the body and mind, prayer provides a direct connection with Allah, nourishes the body, affirms discipline among Muslims, help the believer to avoid bad deeds and obtain the blessing of life from Allah. Prayer Provides a Direct Connection with Allah First of all, the benefit of prayer is that prayer provides a direct connection with Allah.
