The spiritual crisis faced by mankind is most certainly the outcome of despotic political rules that have deliberately overlooked human values. The same trend has also been adopted in the fields of modern technology. The Quran says;
Those who, should we establish them in the land, will keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate and enjoin good and forbid evil, and Allah’s is the end of affairs (22:41).
We find that in the Quran, the words Salat (Prayer) and the Book (Quran) appear side-by-side in many of its Verses. This itself reflects on he importance of Salat. For ecample let us cite the following Quranic verse.
Surely they who recite the Book of Allah and keep up prayer and spend out of what we have given them secretly and openly, hope for a gain which will not perish(35:29) Another verse says; Surely I am Allah, there is is no god but I, therefore serve Me and keep up prayer for My remembrance (20:14). |
