Ramadhan Day 3 -- Prayer, The Best Way to Connect with God

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

The best spiritual relationship with Allah, the Exalted, is in prayer (salah). If your salah is good, you won't have a void that will have to be filled with creative exercises. You won't have to turn to other things.

The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) engaged in the adhkar and the du'as that the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) taught them and every time they want to thank Allah more, they made salah.

Allah Almighty says the real way to remember Him is in prayer.
فَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ فَرِ‌جَالًا أَوْ رُ‌كْبَانًا ۖ فَإِذَآ أَمِنتُمْ فَٱذْكُرُ‌وا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَمَا عَلَّمَكُم مَّا لَمْ تَكُونُوا۟ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٢٣٩

And if you fear [an enemy, then pray] on foot or riding. But when you are secure, then remember Allah [in prayer], as He has taught you that which you did not [previously] know.
[Qur'an, Al-Baqarah 2:239]

May Allah increase us in prayers and help us perfect our prayers. Ameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.

And Allah knows best and He alone grants success.

Wassalaam
