The philosophy of prayer

The congregational prayer - it came with a command and direct obligation without an intermediary and without a veil between the Lord and the servant, between Allah – the Almighty – and the Messenger, the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers, Muhammad ibn Abdullah – peace be upon him – therefore, prayer and its virtues are more deserving to be followed to reinforce moral values within ourselves. And what is its benefit without practicing it with humans? The congregational prayer is the law that Allah imposed on humans; to deal with each other according to it, and it serves as a deterrent when the law of the jungle appears, becoming the fierce competitor to the natural law of humanity, and it is a motivator when despair takes hold of them, accompanied by hardship and toil in this life, giving them a push forward to honor this religion and spread its virtues and goodness across this globe. Why is all this importance for this obligation? Why is it alone and not others the first we will be held accountable for? Why is it the covenant between disbelief and faith? Come, dear reader, let us think about the answers to all these questions and more, and ponder the importance of this obligation.
