Learn to let go of your worldy worries during your prayers (salaah) and be more mindful before God.

Muslims are required to pray five times a day, but for too many of us these are little more than physical movements devoid of any spirit or divine connection? In contrast, the Prophet characterised prayer as “the spiritual ascent (mi'raj) of the believer.” In a modern world of constant distraction, how are we to achieve the communion with the Divine that prayer is supposed to be? How can we reach the state of the Prophet who would ask his Companion Bilal to give the call to prayer with the expression: “Give us repose through it, O Bilal.”

This short but valuable work provides us with the answer. Dr Bassam Saeh, a scholar of the Arabic language, casts a refreshing new perspective on prayer in the modern context. With practical examples, and in contemporary idiom, he charts a path for the seeker of God’s pleasure to attain a deeper sense of consciousness and devotion in prayer. The short chapters of this work are designed to be read and reread as constant reminders for us to renew our commitment to the Divine in our prayer.

"I read this book on a train journey and every five minutes I looked up from the book to share ... bits from [it]. There were so many gems" — gildeddunya.com

"From the one who struggles to do their daily Salah to the one who never misses them, we all still struggle to make each and every Salah meaningful and full of khushu. This book is great for both kinds of people." — gildeddunya.com

    A necessary read

    We all have our ups and downs with Salat but once you read this book it does an entire 360 on your connection and practice of Salat. The first few pages give you a necessary recheck on how we think about Salat and how it affects our daily lives.
