(Qur’an: s4 v103) • The ritual prayer is based on a mixture of what Qur’an says and how Prophet Muhammad actually carried out the ritual. • Salah is the pillar of Islam and whoever abandons it, demolishes the very pillar of religion.’ (hadith) • ‘The most important of practical pillars, to serve God sincerely rather than with lip-service.’ (Mustafa Ahmed al’Zarqa) Ref: Islam; v W Watton

  14. A scholar • ‘The relationship between faith and rituals is a paradox. To the outsider, ritual is the most obvious sign of the character of a religion and the identity of its believers. Yet ritual can never quite capture faith, for faith transcends form and imagery. • In Islam, the most central ritual is prayer, observed in the five-times- daily prayers called Salat. Many might say that, in turning to Gods in any kind of prayer, human beings experience a little taste of eternity.’ (50 Ideas to know…. Islam, Mona Siddiqui)
