In offering our prayers we accept a posture of physical and men-
tal humility before our Creator, The Guardian Evolver, Cherisher
and Sustainer of all the worlds. We thank Him for the blessings He
has bestowed upon us, and we ask His Forgiveness for our sins.
This expression of humility is painfully difficult for those of weak
faith, but it is a joy and inspiration for the strong in faith. In com-
municating with Allah we must be ever mindful of our human
limitations, and we must be conscious of the fact that we are but
minute parts of His Infinite Creation..In our prayers we address
Allah only. After saying, "Allah is the Greatest," we begin with the
Name Allah (in the Name of Allah).
Prophet Muhammad Sg said that prayer is one of the five pillars
upon which Al-Islam is raised.116 Just as a building loses its stabili-
ty when one of its pillars falls, neglect of prayer will cause a person
to lose his sense of morality and piety. Prophet Muhammad felt
so strongly about the institution of prayer in Al-Islam that in one
of his last directives to his followers before his death, he empha-
tal humility before our Creator, The Guardian Evolver, Cherisher
and Sustainer of all the worlds. We thank Him for the blessings He
has bestowed upon us, and we ask His Forgiveness for our sins.
