The Rationale & Benefits of Salat

About This Book

The Rationale & Benefits of Salat explains why prayer holds the place it does in Islam. After the testimony of faith, prayer is the second pillar of the religion, and the hadith teach that it will be the first deed a person is asked about on the Day of Judgment.

Starting from those texts, the book sets out the reasons for the obligation, the benefits attached to prayer, and why it must be performed properly, on time and according to the Sunnah. Evidence from the Qur'an and hadith is quoted throughout, and the book gives real attention to khushoo', standing before Allah with a present heart.
