Importance of Daily Prayer

In our Ruhi book 1 group today, we studied the second Unit and understood more about prayer:

• Prayer is a conversation with God, Prayer serves to bring us nearer to God


• Profit Muhammed has said that prayer is like a ladder suspended between heaven an earth by which we ca ascend to paradise


• Baha'u'llah has revealed: "I beseech Thee...to make of my prayer a fire that will burn away the veils which have shut me out from Thy beauty, and a light that will lead me unto the ocean of Thy Presence"


• "There is nothing sweeter in the world of existence than prayer.........It creates spirituality, creates mindfulness and celestial feelings, begets new attractions of the Kingdom and engenders the susceptibilities of the higher intelligence." Abdu'l-Baha

Our understanding on how we pray and purpose of prayer was changed completely.....

يجب أن نتذكر دوما أن الصلاة فى أوج صفائها تقربنا من الله سبحانه وتساعدنا على الورود في ساحة قدسه.....قال سيدنا محمد (صلعم) "الصلاة معراج المؤمن به يصعد إلى السماء .......يقول حضرة عبدالبهاء ...الدعاء هو مخاطبة الله, ولا يوجد حالة أعظم أو أحلى من مخاطبة الله, إذ إنها تبعث الروحانيات, وتثير اليقظة والأحساسات الملكوتية, وتجذب تأييدات الملكوت, وتولد قابلية أكبر للفهم والأدراك" مترجم
