The way of Salat

Thank you Allah for giving us Salat.

For forcing us to stop running 4 times in a day, and to sit and reflect for some of those precious minutes.

For the instant calm and peace that washes over us as we perform it. Without which, we would have mentally collapsed a long time back.

For reminding us every single time that you are there to help us through this race of a life. That you are the one holding us up and helping us push through.

Thank you Allah, for making us pause our mental load for a fraction of time and helping us circulate the blood in our veins physically.

For helping us wash our sins of the day away with every drop of water that touches our skin. For cooling our over-heated bodies.

For refreshing our brain every time our forehead touches the ground. For helping us realize that we are not in control of everything.

Thank you Allah, for waking us up in the middle of the night, to help us absorb the freshness and tranquility of a new day. To think through in the quietness of an early morning.

For giving us an opportunity to ask you for things we can't ask any human. For sharing with you to our hearts content.

For reminding us day in and day out that we are running out of time. That this dunya and its problems are tiny and temporary.

Thank you Allah.

Over and over a million times.
