May Allah put the sweetness of faith and worship in your prayer/Salat. Prayer is matter that leads to Allah’s LOVE and PLEASURE, two qualities that all humans seek in one way or another but cannot find apart from Allah. Review the dimensions of Salat, and know that within Salat are gifts that Allah has for you while your Salat adds nothing to Allah, His power or Kingdom. As cited in a Hadith Qudsi, Salat is loved by Allah and a means to be loved by Him, and be grateful. Through it He will become your hearing, sight, your sense of touch and movement.
May Allah make your Salat a means to the truth of Love and Life.
Wallahu Allah,
Kamau Ayubbi
