Almighty Allah says “Pray to me! I will accept it” (Al-Quran 2, 201)
Whatever man desires to achieve can only be achieved by the grace of Almighty Allah and the way to do so is to pray to Allah and access this treasure. Prayer is the key by which man can open the door of God’s treasure and set foot on it to accumulate satiate commendable desires and tremendous fortune. Prayer has also a great status among all types of worships as Allah’s Messenger, prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: “Allah loves and rewards the one who prays to him”.
The supreme Lord never rejects the calling of a suppliant, but answers it immediately and one who calls his lord with strong faith can feel instantly that his mind gets filled with peace and tranquility. When one prays in accordance with the standard taught by the holy Prophet (PBUH) and strong belief, no matter what type of hardships and difficulties are there, Allah will surely bestow blessings and one can overcome all the troubles. The key is to submit to Allah and seek only and only from Allah.
In the modern era, anxiety and depression has become a common thing with almost every second person complaining about it. The prime reason is the absence of inner harmony, which results from distance that we have maintained from prayer. With trust and hope, if we decorate ourselves with this power of prayer, it will amazingly restore the spiritual health and harmonious functioning of both the body and soul and will surely undo anxiety and depression.
The magic of prayer is such that if this power is transferred deep into the subconscious, it will then freshen up one’s mind and provide a chance to revamp both body and soul. It should be in one’s mind that while praying the deal is with the most high and mighty power in the universe. Keeping that in mind, the presence of mind, serenity and calmness should be of the great degree. Most importantly when one is dealing with the prayer, the sayings and formulas defined by the supreme lord should be respected correctly so that the outcome in every respect to each supplication will be up to the mark. Whatever man desperately wants to accomplish in right direction, the proper prayers with faith, belief always yields successful results. Whenever you are going through any kind of hardship or difficulty, explain and discuss it with the supreme power- the almighty Allah.
Allah says “I respond to the prayer of every suppliant when he calls to me” ( Al-Quran 2-186).
There are numerous sayings of the holy Prophet (PBUH) besides various versus of the Quran that call upon the believers to pray to the Almighty in thick and thin and seek only his blessings. It is mandatory for Muslims to pray five times a day and each time people ask for Almighty favors. So much is the significance of prayer that even if one is not able to stand for it, he/she may pray while sitting or in whatever position possible. One should not break from this beautiful routine and keep praying to Almighty for it is the best way to remain connected with the creator.
