The Prayer: Its Effects in Increasing Eemaan and Purifying the Soul | Shaykh Husayn al-Awaayishah

The Prayer: Its Effects in Increasing Eemaan and Purifying the Soul by Shaykh Husayn al-Awaayishah is an inspiring guide that explores the profound spiritual impact of Salah on the life of a believer. Drawing upon the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah, the author explains how sincere prayer, performed with humility (khushu') and attentiveness, increases faith, purifies the soul, and strengthens one's relationship with Allah. The book discusses the virtues of prayer, the importance of praying as the Prophet ﷺ prayed, the role of congregation, the excellence of the night prayer, and practical ways to develop concentration and devotion in worship. This beneficial work is an excellent resource for Muslims seeking to improve their Salah and cultivate a stronger connection with their Creator.

From Author:

'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 Allaah, 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 say that correct Prayer done with full attentiveness and humility is one 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 loftier. That is the way to success, well-being and salvation in this life and the Hereafter.'

Introduction
Indeed all praise is for Allaah, we praise Him, we seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. We seek Allaah's refuge from the evils of ourselves and from our evil actions. Whomsoever Allaah guides none can misguide him, and whomsoever Allaah misguides none can guide him. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, alone, having no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messen- ger.
يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَائِهِ ، وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ
"O you who believe! Fear Allaah as He should be feared. And die not except in a state of Islam (as Muslims)."
يأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاءً وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا
"O mankind be dutiful to your Lord, who created you from a single person (Aadam), and from him He created his wife, and from them both He created many men and women. Fear Allaah through whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allaah is ever an All Watcher over you."

Its Effect In Increasing Eemaan And Purifying The Soul
Shaykh Husayn al-Awaayishah
"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 Allaah, 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 begins 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 one 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 his Companions, radiyallaahu 'anhum, 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."
