Prayer in the Qur'an


  • The worshipper who prays realizes that God is All-Knowing and All Seeing and expresses his respect for and fear of Him.He never hesitates to admit his status as a servant before Him.Since prayer is an important worship,it is not only done to make a wish.Every need or wish signals the time of this worship.
  • Since man constantly needs and demands things,he should also pray consistently.There of course are particular times for prayer:regular night and morning prayer times are mentioned in the Qur'an as the proper moments for prayer.Nevertheless man should consistently pray all day long since every course of action proceeds under the control of Allah.Man should turn to Him for guidance and help in all his deeds.Moreover,he should pray for God's acceptance of his services.
  • While praying,man should certainly know that God will respond to his call.He should be aware that He is All-God is the Master of all,Omnipotent and Omniscient Knowing and All-Seeing.In an ardent expectation,a believer never becomes despondent and patiently awaits for the response of God.Having a firm belief in His Justice,he avoids taking an anxious and desperate attitude.
  • The mind of a believer adhering to the guidance of the Qur'an never harbours doubts about the answer God would give to his call.Anyone who is beset by doubts would from the very beginning display a contradictory to the reasoning of the Qur'an.
