The virtue (goodness) of a servant begins after he amends his quality of prayer.
Prayer is the turning point of everything.
When prayer performed externally and internally is perfect
requiring the presence of mind,heart, soul, humbleness, and understanding what is read,
the bounteous blessings of God are showered upon him.
God will purify his heart. Guidance(hidayah) is placed in his heart.
The traits of lovingGod, fear of God, loving and caring, generosity,tolerance, patience, content, ‘tawakkal,’ andforgiveness grow in his heart.
His beautiful manner, as well asdiscipline become noticeable.
For this reason,let us amend our prayer until we feel that we areworshipping Him.
Do not think that our soul can be purified without prayer, not that it can be cleansed
with adefective [prayer].
Prayer is mother of worship.
Prayer is the source of every virtue.
In Islam, prayer is given a great attention.
When the prayer is proper,the rest of the things are proper.
If prayer isn eglected or is not given serious attention, or it is performed
without the presence of mind and heart,all the doors of virtue are closed.
If there is one who is making good deeds but is not praying, the virtue (good deeds) is probably not based on faith(iman).
It also probably is being performed without purpose, or as animitation of others.
Therefore, please give serious attention and regard towards prayer.
