Conversing With Your Lord - Sheikh Assim Al-Hakeem

Assalamualaikum...... Today I would like to share a very beneficial talk by Sheikh Assim Al-Hakeem. In this talk, Sheikh Assim touches on the importance of our 5 times daily prayers. Several important points in the talk are as follow: 1. If a Muslim man or woman does not carry out his/her obligatory duty in completing the 5 times daily prayers as good as possible, they are lacking in so many ways in being a Muslim. 2. The khalimah Allahu Akhbar! which you say during the prayer is so meaningful. This is because it means ALLAH IS THE GREATEST. The greatest in what sense? IT MEANS ALLAH IS THE GREATEST OF ALL. HE is the greatest than the problems we have in life, HE is the greatest in all the worries we have in life, HE is the greatest than all the fears we have in life, HE is the greatest than the people that try to discriminate us and many more. So, while saying these word in our prayers, let us remember that nothing is greater than Allah in this world and in the here after. When we do this, In shaa Allah, we could concentrate more in our prayers and we become calmer in facing the burdens that we have in life. Do listen further to this beautiful talk as it gives a lot of information on the meaning and benefits of praying 5 times a day in Islam.
