Prayer, or Salat, is one of the five pillars of Islam. It’s a moment of direct connection between the believer and Allah, a spiritual break in the day that allows us to refocus and nourish our faith.
In this article, we’ll explore how prayer works in Islam, its importance according to the Quran, and modern tools like Islamic App: Salat and Islamic App: Athan Pro which make daily practice easier.
The importance of prayer in Islam according to the Quran
Salat is a daily obligation for every Muslim. The Quran mentions prayer on numerous occasions, emphasizing its importance and the spiritual benefits it brings.
“Recite what has been revealed to you from the Book and perform the prayer. Surely, prayer prevents turpitude and blasphemy. The remembrance of Allah is the greatest of all. And Allah knows what you do.” (Quran, Sura 29:45)
Prayer is more than just repeated words and gestures. It’s a spiritual discipline that reminds us of our place in the universe and strengthens our bond with Allah.
How to pray according to the Quran and the Sunnah
1. Ablutions (Wudu): essential purification
Before praying, you must perform ablutions (Wudu), which purify body and mind. This is a prerequisite for prayer to be accepted. Islamic App: Salat takes you step by step through this learning process, with clear, accessible tutorials.
2. The five daily prayers
Every day, Muslims perform five prayers at specific times:
- Fajr: before sunrise
- Dhuhr: early afternoon
- Asr: late afternoon
- Maghrib: at sunset
- Isha: in the evening
Each of these prayers is an opportunity to reconnect with Allah, to ask for His help and forgiveness, and to give thanks for His blessings.
