The Profound Philosophy of the Obligation of Prayer - Words of Hazrat Fatimah (peace be upon her)

The Philosophy of the Obligation of Prayer

Hazrat Fatimah al-Zahra (peace be upon her):
"Allah has made prayer obligatory to free humanity from arrogance."
*Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 82, p. 209.

Interpretations, Strategies, and Applications of the Philosophy of the Obligation of Prayer

• Allah made prayer an obligatory duty to free humanity from arrogance.
• Prayer has a purifying effect, eliminating moral vices.
• Prayer is effective in preventing humanity from vices.
• The communion with God in prayer and the invocations recited therein positively influence a person's spiritual state, freeing them from negative qualities and leading to purity of heart.
• Allah has designed prayer as a program to elevate humanity from the lowest to the best state of piety.
• Researchers, scholars, and writers should present the collection of divine guidance in the Quran and the guidance of the fourteen Imams (peace be upon them all) in relation to the philosophy, effects, and issues of prayer, as appropriate content for lessons, both academic and non-academic, suitable for different age groups. This will enable students, scholars, and the general public to more effectively achieve success in fulfilling what is pleasing to God through obedience to the guidance of God and the Imams (peace be upon them all). The appropriate utilization of these investigations in various literary forms, such as articles, books, posters, banners, plays, screenplays, films, and theatrical performances, can provide a foundation for the advancement, growth, and well-being of society.
• The role of promoting the guidance of Islam by the Ministry of Islamic Guidance, higher education, primary and secondary education, seminaries, cultural and educational departments, cultural centers, mosques, Islamic propagation, preachers, media, publications, etc., is very effective. Addressing the various aspects of prayer and teaching its profound meanings can elevate society to individuals free from vices and possessing higher ranks and exalted qualities.
