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 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 (Sallallahu Alayhe Wassalam) who would ask his Companion Bilal (RA) to give the call to prayer with the expression:
“Give us repose through it, O Bilal.” [Sunan Abu Dawud, Graded as Saheeh by Sh. Al-Albani]
