Salat means prayer. It forms the most important part of Islamic worship. It is obligatory or Farz for a Muslim to offer prayer five times a day – at daybreak (Fajr), noon (Zohr), mid-afternoon (Asr), sunset (Maghrib), and evening (Isha). Besides this, Nafil (voluntary prayer) may be said at other times. The spirit of salah is khushu, which means submission. Salat is intended to inculcate a deep sense of submission in a believer, which is expressed externally by his physical bowing in the postures of ruku and sajdah. The spirit of these daily five prayers is humility. One who bows before his Creator, in the true spirit will be devoid of pride and ego. Muslims have been advised in the Quran to be steadfast, in their prayer (29:45) for prayer keeps away indecency and evil. One who performs his prayer in its true spirit cannot become forgetful of God after his prayer is over. The actions of prayer are a manifestation of the fact that one’s heart is full of fear and love for God. Therefore, if prayers are said in their true spirit, one’s prayer will surely fend off indecency and evil by purifying the worshipper’s soul and serve to bring him closer to God.
