On Friday Oct 03 the world renowned Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani gave a speech on the importance of observing the daily prayers with sincerity and love. Here is just a gist of what was spoken in Fenton US. Prayers are the zones where you are most near to Allah swt to ask Him what you need. “In it , feeha yatasa” “feeha ma yaleeq min al – asrar- in it all kinds of secrets lies within in the prayer itself. Allah swt will open whatever secrets or blessings to His servant when he is praying and no one will know what lies within a specific prayer. Actually many people approach prayer through problems and when they face difficulties. Salathul al Haajjah is a prayer of fulfilling a need and the person who gets what he wanted forgot that the solution is from Allah swt. It is also important to ask a need from your heart not just merely ask by raising your hands as Allah swt says that He will respond to our calls in the Al Quran. In order to see whether our prayer is working for us is the effec

I want to start a series of posts on prayer. “Prayer is the coolness of my eyes” said the Prophet PBUH. Every word of the Prophet is as true as the Holy Quran. How can prayer be soothing to him yet a boring “ritual” to most of us. If you ask a muslim to choose between a “going to the cinema” and "going to the mosque", the most likely urge is to choose the former. That is the reality of this age. Prayer is losing its popularity among muslims. The real reason is that we “cannot” see God in our prayer. If you are using the computer now can you ask this simple question - where is the electrical power coming from? The answer will be it is from the power socket. It is from the circuit distribution board, from the switch room, from the distribution center, from the power supply, from the power generator. One broken link in that chain and your computer will be useless. Similarly, if you cannot see Allah swt in your prayer – your link is broken and you are stuck in the boredom of rit

It is my ardent desire to find out what we can discover in prayer. That is why I am posting articles in this regard. It is not an easy task to find out what is the ‘key’ to open the floodgate in a prayer. We will find something in prayer. It is only a matter of time.It is definitely that ‘something’ we did not experience in life is behind the veil of our prayer. In my preceding post I have given readers the first step in approaching prayer. Readers may find that my posts are not on a consistent basis. I feel guilty at times. To tell you the truth, it is not an easy task writing about something which I have not gone through. I just want to unlock the key in a successful prayer. There is something there in prayer – a gift from Allah swt- for those who enters prayer to unlock and take it. But prayer is a ritual, monotonous exercise for the majority. It is because many of us who enters prayer are in a lazy mindset about prayers. It gives nothing. It is not entertaining like watching a mov

N ow you are ready for the prayer. In our everyday life we focus on so many things. But only in prayer Allah swt gives you a break from all the troubles and problems by making your time to remember Him alone. But instead of remembering Allah swt, the performers of prayers mostly remember their matters about the world. This is where the basis of contradiction will arise. Do not be a selfish performer of prayer. Give your time to Allah swt. Why I say contradictions? On one hand we belief in Allah swt but on the other hand we do not ask Allah swt to make the belief stronger. We think that we are going to perform the prayer. But we have forgotten that we are just an instrument of Allah swt. Now in this blog you may have learned some skill in your spiritual pursuit. Sometimes I wonder why I am writing this blog. It gives me nothing but taking so much of my sleep time. The reason is this - I love to write about Islam. Is that love self imposed? I do not think so. The passion in me is planted

The Prayer in Islam is actually a communion with the Creator who is above and beyond all understanding and reality. In order to get a one hundred percent communication with Allah swt, conscious effort is needed by the performer of prayer. The first and foremost of prayer is the beautiful Azan or Call to Prayer. The call to prayer is above all music in the universe. Listen to the call before every prayer and try your very best to emulate the most beautiful call to prayer before you start a prayer. I have found the below video.Listen to this beautiful call to prayer by Mr Yusuf Islam.

T he food that we consume has to be in accordance with code given in the Al Quran. It is one of the factors which will help in uplifting our prayers from a dull ritual to quality devotion. I am somehow very fortunate to have secured the Keys Of The Treasures of The Heaven and Earth . I have become somehow more conscious of my connection with the spiritual dimension. All praise to Allah swt. I truly want you to taste the sweetness of faith with Allah swt. One day we will see from our own eyes that the only truth is Allah swt. Then it will be too late. Why not ponder over Allah swt truthfulness in this world. In this section I want to write about the one thing that brings you near to the door of success - which is the obligatory ablution. Allah swt says in the Al Quran Chapter 5 verse 6 as follows: *O ye who believe! when ye prepare for prayer, wash your faces, and your hands (and arms) to the elbows; Rub your heads (with water); and (wash) your feet to the ankles. If ye are in a state
