PRAYER
PRAYER
Testament the Israelites are commanded, "Seek you the Lord while
He may be found, call upon Him while He is near."112
A similar commandment in the New Testament tells Christians,
"Watch you therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted
worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass."113
In the Holy Qur'an Allah says, "And establish regular prayer,
for prayer restrains from shameful and unjust deeds, and remem-
brance of Allah is the greatest [thing in life] without doubt. And
Allah knows the [deeds] that you do."114 In our prayers to Allah
we ask Him to guide us to the right way of life, and to help us
overcome all forms of corruption, shameful behavior and evil
thoughts in order that we may be happy in this life and in the
Hereafter. In another passage of the Holy Qur'an Allah tells us,
"And establish regular prayers at the two ends of the day and at
the approaches of the night, for those things that are good remove
those that are evil. Be that the word of remembrance to those who
remember [their Lord]."115
