Why I Pray

Why do I pray?

What is the point of it?

Why am I required to pray five times a day?

Why isn’t once enough?

What's in it for me?

These are questions that many of us live with, regardless of our age or level of piety.

At the end there is a collection of 40 ahadith detailing the many virtues of salah. 

Review: 

"The 5 daily prayers are the most basic obligation upon every Muslim. If you wish you could establish your prayers properly, or find your prayers a challenge, this little book will help you kill the excuses and get into the right mental space to worship your creator on His terms and fulfil the purpose of your life." - Shaikha Fatima Barkatulla
