Episode notes
Origin Of The Five Daily Salah
- Samih Jad recounts Isra and Mi'raj when Allah gave the five daily salah to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as a consolation and gift in the highest heavens.
- That year was called the 'year of sadness' due to the deaths of Khadija and Abu Talib and the hardship in Ta'if which preceded the gift of salah.
Salah As Spiritual Refuge
- Salah is presented as the primary spiritual refuge for difficulties and trials in life according to Samih Jad's explanation.
- Performing salah with khushua (focus/humility) unlocks its calming and supportive effects in hardship.
Practice Salah With Focus And Resistance
- Do perform salah with khushua and resist shaytan's whispers that try to delay or distract you from prayer.
- If your salah lacks focus, reperform or slow down the actions until the words and positions reach your heart.
