The Prayer Its Effect In Increasing Eemaan And Purifying The Soul
The people have indeed come to treat the Prayer as something unimportant. Attentiveness and humility in it have been taken away, except from those whom Allah, the Most High, wills. The hearts have become darkened and the people's distressed state has become grave. They have searched for the causes and strive to find a cure, but are unable to find it. They have looked into everything except their Prayers, which are the closest of affairs to them... Indeed the well being of the soul beings with rectification of one's belief (Aqeedah) and one's Prayer, and I do not think that I am exaggerating when I say that correct Prayer done with full attentiveness and humility is on of the most important means for the success and victory of this Ummah. So let us reflect upon our Prayer and compare it with the Prayer of the Prophet and Companions, since that is the way to change the souls and turn them to that which is more lofty. That is the way to success, well being and salvation in this life and the Hereafter.

■ Life fascinates us with its unknown twists and turns. Liberate our hearts from worries, refine our Prayer(Salah) and elevate our faith(Eeman).
The author illustrates the importance and benefits of Salah with ample references from the Quran and Sunnah. Not only discusses the practices on an individual level, but he also highlights the functions of the society and family institutions in boosting our eeman as a Muslim and collectively as the Ummah.
■ His writings are stern yet uplifting. He empathises & clarifies reminders with care and sincerity.
● We must change our attitudes, shift our perspectives and do self-reflections on these 3 gems; intentions, humility and attentiveness. Then only we taste the sweetness in following the Sunnah, i. e. the correct ways to worship.
● Frequently, we find ourselves engulfed in the aftermath of our mistakes, be they wrong choices or unwise words spoken. Learn from them. To move forward and renew our eeman is to let go of our past.
● Begin to cleanse our hearts with genuine and earnest repentance, beseeching Allah (SWT) for forgiveness and His mercy. Make a firm commitment to embark on a fresh start.
● The Quran strengthens our souls. Dedicate extra effort to recite, explore the tafseer or learn the Arabic language to fully appreciate the Quran's eloquence & beauty.
● Fully engage with Allah (swt) during the five daily prescribed Salah. Express genuine gratitude and directly present your concerns to Him.
■ To conclude, in a world where Salah often becomes a mere habit, the author reiterates and discusses the condition of the heart one should cultivate when approaching this act of worship, offering insights on how to foster this mindset and exploring the impacts Salah should have on one's life.
Eeman, like a delicate flower, can bloom or wither in response to life's various challenges. Be the Ummah that is capable of instigating positive societal transformations, rather than one that perpetually whines about every tiny problem.

This book is truly excellent. The author first draws attention to how spiritually bereft we are today and how we look to all kinds of solution but neglect the one that will give us ultimate success and salvation - prayer. He illustrates the importance and benefits of prayer with ample references from the Qur'an and Sunnah. In addition, he shows us how prayer can guide and help us in every aspect of our lives.
