‘…so that we can pray and relieve ourselves from the hardships of this life, just as how a tired person finds repose as soon as he arrives at his house and settles down in it, breaking away from the hardships and fatigue he endured outside.’
May Allah allow salat to always be a source of peace and comfort to us, in our best and most difficult days.

I love how this book delves into every aspect of prayer, what it does to you physically and spiritually, the beauty of surah Al-Fatiha, the beauty of prayer, how music effects us in prayer, such a beautiful book that I would recommend to every Muslim. However the only reason why I gave it a 4 and not a 5 is because it did get repetitive at times
Here’s a free pdf of the book

Finished my re-read. Love this book, one of my absolute favourites. Based on the topic of salah and music, how the immorality of the latter prevents the excellence of the former. Though, it is very beneficial to learn about each stage of salah and read how a great scholar of Islam felt about salah and the Quran.

‘O worshipper, be in the salah like a man who agreed to guarantee the debt of a person who turned out to be deceitful and kept delaying the payment of his debt. And because you are the guarantor of this man you will be called to pay the debt in place of him, so you call for every form of available help to force this man to pay his debt in order to release yourself from this commitment’
(the debt here i believe is our sins and nafs/desires)
- such a beautifully written book. credits both to ibn qayyyim may Allah have mercy on him and the translator. a lot of times translated Islamic books lack the heart in which the scholars wrote in. books which were originally *one* letter to an afflicted person becomes books which read like commandments and I feel that they only translate the rules etc and not translate well the eloquence. arabic is an easy language to an extent but translating it is quite a feat.
definitely need the physical copy of this <3
{ note: finding a quote one of my friends here hasn’t used in their reviews wasnt as hard as I thought ahah)

i loved the analogies of prayer as something that nourishes the soul like food - that brings about fulfilment and contentment, strengthening our relationships with God

“The aforementioned are just some brief glimpses and hints about salāh and a disclosure of some of its subtle qualities and hidden gems.”
A beautiful, beautiful read.
