Communicating with Allah - Rediscovering Prayer Salah Saeh Dr. Bassam Paperback

Muslims are required to pray five times a day, but for too many of us these are little more than physical movements devoid of any spirit or divine connection? How can we reach the state of the Prophet who would ask his Companion Bilal to give the call to prayer with the expression: "Give us repose through it, O Bilal."The present short but valuable work provides us with the answer. In contrast, the Prophet characterised prayer as "the spiritual ascent (mi'raj) of the believer." In a modern world of constant distraction, how are we to achieve the communion with the Divine that prayer is supposed to be?

With practical examples, and in contemporary idiom, he charts a path for the seeker of God's pleasure to attain a deeper sense of consciousness and devotion in Dr Bassam Saeh, a scholar of the Arabic language, casts a refreshing new perspective on prayer in the modern context.
