Comfort our soul with it

Prayer purifies hearts from the filth of sins. It opens the gate of treasures of the unseen world. Prayer is the greatest and the most significant acts of worship. Its core is submission and humility. The heart of the prayer is to turn to Allah with submissiveness, and devotion. If you want an accepted prayer and to raise its worth higher, then strive for performing it at its time, and with all of its pillars, whilst facing your Lord with humility. In fulfilling all the requirements of prayer, you will feel that you are starting to smell the fragrance of happiness, and to sip the nectar of contentment and tranquility, and it is only at that time that you will realize the secret behind the Prophet’s saying: (وجُعلت قرةُ عيني في الصلاة) ‘The delight of my eye has been placed in the prayer.’ Prayer is the comfort of the soul and the peace of the mind. It pours in the soul of the Muslim a great degree of satisfaction and serenity. This degree depends on how much you are humble before Allah. Indeed, Prayer is the ascending of the Muslim to heaven.
