Islam Religion Forum is a place where Muslims and Non Muslims both can post their Religious Topics!
Praying five times a day is only one part of Salaat. When we finish our prayers in the Masjid, we are not done with Salaat. It is not something to do and finish. It involves every aspect of life, keeping it within the guidelines of the Divine Code twenty four hours a day. And this has to be done within a system under a central authority according to the Quran. This system was originally established by Messenger Muhammad peace be upon him and the Sahaba. Five times a day our prayers are meant to renew and reinforce our commitment to steadfastly enforce the system of Salaat ordered by
Allah Almighty and practically shown to the humankind by the Messenger Muhammad peace be upon him. This renewal boosts our psychological energy to come together and support each other towards the goals of the Quran. Salaat is the mechanism by which the Quran is implemented in mankind. This is how Allah's laws can be engrained within us; this is how the Messenger Muhammad peace be upon him and the Sahaba found it so natural to follow the Quran, and the results they produced within 30 years speak for themselves. Needless to say, our prayers are not producing the same results although we have been praying for more than a thousand years in ever increasing numbers.
To every open minded person studying the Quran, to every person whose eyes search for those truths which God has unveiled in his book of clear guidance. The Quran, with eternal guidance and unchanging laws, governs the stagnation and destruction or prosperity and success of nations. I believe that the Quran is not only directed towards Muslims, but towards all of humanity. It is the sole solution for its personal and societal problems as well as the ultimate cure for the its pain and difficulties. This belief of mine is not built upon blissful ignorance, rather this belief springs from deep reflection and understanding of the situation based upon reason. It satisfies my search for peace and perfect balance in my heart and mind; a baseless superstition or blind belief cannot not be mistaken for such an internal peace. Always ask a question which strikes a vital reality. Today a very large number of Muslims are praying, fasting, giving zakat, completing hajj, yet they are not receiving the same benefits and successes as did the Muslims in the time of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, a time in which Muslims did these very same actions. So if this is a reality then how can we revive our prayers and other cardinal practice in its original format ?
